Hi,
I am reading topics on creating multiple observations from a single record {@,@@) and creating one observation per detail record.
I am getting confused between record and observation. Is there a easy way to understand the difference?
Thanks,
Archana
There's no real difference. They both mean a single row of data. SAS documentation uses "observation" to mean a row of data in a SAS data set, and "record" to mean a row of data from any other source.
