Hello everyone,
there was a question in my assignment, and after I checked the answer,
I still did not understand, so I post it here.
The data set is as below:
Yellowstone ID/MT/WY 1872 4,065,493 Everglades FL 1934 1,398,800 Yosemite CA 1864 760,917 Great Smoky Mountains NC/TN 1926 520,269 Wolf Trap Farm VA 1966 130
And the question was:
Input National Park $ State $ Year Acreage;
Informat Acreage COMMA9.;
run;
Your code as posted won't work to your satisfaction, as national_park has blanks in some rows.
See my slight correction:
data want;
Input National_Park $22. State $ Year Acreage;
Informat Acreage COMMA9.;
cards;
Yellowstone ID/MT/WY 1872 4,065,493
Everglades FL 1934 1,398,800
Yosemite CA 1864 760,917
Great Smoky Mountains NC/TN 1926 520,269
Wolf Trap Farm VA 1966 130
;
run;
As for your second question: just try it.
