Creation of macros to run proc univariate on multiple tables from the ODBC (Oracle Server) and saving this in a single table.
I have around 40 tables in a particular schema on the Oracle server and would like to run Proc univariate on all the numeric fields from the tables and save it in a single table.
I know this is limited information, but I wanted to start with the high level and provide more information based on the updates I receive.
Thank you so much!
Write a macro that loops through all of the Oracle tables and performs PROC UNIVARIATE on it, with results being stored in a SAS data set. In the same loop, append each SAS data set to the previous (PROC APPEND).
Much like @PaigeMiller you have provided the high level, so nothing further for us to comment on.
If it was me doing it I would break it down as:
1) Get data from database and save to SAS datasets in a given library.
2) Generate the code from SASHELP.VTABLE, something like:
data _null_; set sashelp.vtable (where=(libname="YOURLIB")); call execute('proc univariate....; proc append base=...); run;
