Is all great to see the top <N> lowest and highest values from a dataset, but can they somehow be stored in a SAS data set?
I was looking at the OUTPUT statement but doesn't seem to have anything that will allow me to store those <n> lowest and <n> highest values in some data set and work with them further.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Any SAS table output can be stored in a dataset with the ODS. Insert the statement
ods output ExtremeObs=myExtremes;
into your proc univariate statements. This will create table myExtremes with the contents of the printed table..
