Absolute Value Difference

[krg1140]

1. Which observation (reference the GVKEY) has the greatest difference between predicted audit fees and actual audit fees?

I can sort the data by ascending or descending order but then it throws the value off of the correct observation #

What code can I run to give me an output of the largest absolute value difference from my resiudal from this regression output:

/* Part 3 Step 13 */

proc reg data=reg.Complete_Data;
model laf=BIGN CITY_SPEC restatement_issue MATWEAK LAT CATA OCF LOSS SALE SALE_GROWTH;
output out=reg.reg1 p=plaf r=resid;
run;
quit;

Hello,

As always there are multiple solutions to this, but why don't you use an ID statement?

The variables listed in the ID statement are displayed beside each observation. These variables can be used to identify each observation.
