Hello,
I am trying to find some correlations between 11 variables (10 continuous variables (with 2 not normally distributed) and 1 categorial variable (1, 2, 3 or 4)). For that, I would like to start with a descriptive analysis using PCA. Regarding the kind of variables (and distributions) I have, I would like to perform a PCA using a matrix of Spearman's correlation. I have seen that we can do it with R software but I'm using SAS and I don't find any information about it, how to do it...
Do you have any idea of how I can do it (in which statement, syntax).
Thank you very much.

Try, for example
proc corr data=sashelp.cars nomiss outs=carsSpear;
var invoice--length;
run;
proc princomp data=carsSpear n=2 plots=pattern;
var invoice--length;
run;
