PROC PRINT with specific observations

HSM9 — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 15:41:56 GMT

I am trying to display a specific subset of variables from my data set HypAnl.HypPrimAnl. I have a variable called COCd that is a numerical variable. I am trying to just display the observations where COCd = 2, without actually showing the COCd variable. How would I do that using the code I have below?

title1 "Subjects Who Died From Heart Failure";
proc print data = HypAnl.HypPrimAnl;
label;
id SSN;
var WtLb BMI SBP;
label SSN = 'Soc Sec Number'
WtLb= 'Subject Weight'
BMI = 'Body Mass Index'
SBP = 'Systolic Blood Pressure';

Try a where statement. Add this to your PROC PRINT.

where COCd = 2;

Perfect, that works out great! I was just unsure exactly what to use in a PROC PRINT.

You can use a WHERE statement in almost every procedure. You can use a WHERE clause as a data set option on any data set (or at least almost every data set). Examples:

proc print data=sashelp.class(where=(sex='F')); run;
proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class(where=(sex='F')); by age; run;
