proc print data=sasuser.cargo99
   var origin dest cargorev;

      76

                 ;, (, DATA, DOUBLE, HEADING, LABEL,

                 UNIFORM, WIDTH.

ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.
11        run;

 

 

all of the above

all are true.

 

Now you have to ask yourself: what could be the reason for SAS to find a syntax error where VAR appears in the code?

Actually can you explain me the correct option. I have found this question in a sample set for sas base certification.
