Ods select: how to save result

[riyaaora275]

Hi , 

I am using the code-

ods select productlimitestimates=d99;


proc lifetest data=graph2_B_G plots= survival(strata = overlay);
time time*status(0);
strata drg_class_detail;
run;

If i remove the =d99 from ods select the code works otherwise I get syntax error .

Why is that?

How do I save the dataset?

ODS Select determines the results to display and so only uses created table name.

If you want a data set then you use ODS OUTPUT tablename = datasetname.

Hi @riyaaora275 

ODS Select is for display.

In your case, I suggest that you use ODS OUTPUT, so that you can save the results in a dataset for further investigations.

Best,
