Hello, I'm a new user and glad SAS is available. I am using secondary data set. I want to find out the size of my target population. I have saved data set. My question is using SAS University Edition, how do I find out the size of the target population?
Thank you.

Describe the data set that you intend to get that information from.
Likely it in will involve summing a count variable but we need lots more information for more of an answer.
What's a secondary data set?
A secondary dataset refers to existing data that was collected for purposes that are different from the original purpose.
Thank you Reeza. Today, I had no problem uploading the attached data notpad file. However, I am trying to identify the total sample population. I am not sure how to do this. In addition, I want to isolate the target sample population. The cases are stratified by new applicant, two-parent or ongoing families for sampling states. My questions are: 1) In SAS, how do I find out the total sample population? 2) How do I isolate cases i.e. women, ages 18-55, African American? 2) how do I determine the number of cases in each strata?
