There is 1 question in the A00-231 Practice Exam, I run the code in SAS studios on 12/18, the answer in SAS Studios is different than the correct answer.

Sure. Question 30:

Given the SAS data set WORK.ONE:

  X  Y   Z
  -  -  --
  1  A  27
  1  A  33
  1  B  45
  2  A  52
  2  B  69
  3  B  70
  4  A  82
  4  C  91

The following SAS program is submitted:

  data WORK.TWO;
     set WORK.ONE;
     by X Y;
     if First.Y;
  run;
  proc print data=WORK.TWO noobs;
  run;

Which report is produced?

Hi @azsas2020 ,

I tried it in SAS Studio on SAS on demand for academics and it gave the true result:

What result did you get?

4 A 82
4 C 91

This appears to be the input data set. Is it possible that you are looking at the work.one instead of work.two?

I will check again after the SAS Studios is available again.

I just test run in SAS Studios again. I got the correct answer now in SAS Studios.
