Definition of Statements

A SAS statement is a series of items that can include keywords, SAS names, special characters, and operators. All SAS statements end with a semicolon. A SAS statement either requests SAS to perform an operation or gives information to the system.

• statements that are used in DATA step programming

• statements that are global in scope and can be used anywhere in a SAS program.

The Base SAS Procedures Guide gives detailed descriptions of the SAS statements that are specific to each SAS procedure. SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide gives detailed descriptions of the Output Delivery System (ODS) statements.

• When appropriate, provide sample data in text or DATA step format.  See this article for one method you can use.
• If you're encountering an error in SAS, include the SAS log or a screenshot of the error condition. Use the Photos button to include the image in your message.
  
• It also helps to include an example (table or picture) of the result that you're trying to achieve.

[PaigeMiller]

Well, there is, there is plenty of documentation that covers procedure statements and ODS statements.

[balu_g]

Here's an example of a procedure:

proc print data=mydata;

var salesman month sales;

run;

This example assumes you have already created a SAS data set named MYDATA that contains variables named SALESMAN, MONTH, and SALES.

ODS statements are none of your business at this point.  The vast majority of the time, you need to become familiar with several types of reports before ODS becomes even remotely useful.

Here is a list of procedures that you can use to begin your education:  PRINT, MEANS, FREQ, SORT.  Study them, learn the basics, because you will be using them probably every week during the next few years.
