I am importing data from SPSS to SAS and creating several new variables within the SAS dataset that I wish to save to a permanent file that can be accessed later. I don't want to have to run the code to set up my new variables for analysis every single time I open SAS. I have been using the following statements, but it does not seem to work. Suggestions are much appreciated.
You are almost there, you need to set the imported file(SPSS) into the data step procedure.
libname survey 'C:\location-of-file';
data survey.apr30data;
set importedspssfilehere;
IF-THEN-ELSE statements;
run;
proc print data=survey.apr30data;
run;
