Juicety_0-1701698557798.pngTask 2:
The data set asign2_customers.sas7bdat contains the details (city of residence, gender,
customer ID, date of birth (DOB), and enrollment date (EnrolDate) of 49,999 registered
customers. Each record has the following variables:
Variable Name Description
CustID Customer’s identity.
City Customer’s city of residence
Gender Gender of the customer (3 levels plus missing values, length of 6
bytes)
DOB Customer’s date of birth (in SAS date values)
EnrolDate Customer’s enrollment date (in SAS date values)
Create a new SAS data set that contains the following characteristics:
• Name the new data set Customers_New and keep it in the SAS library created in Task 1.
• Replace all Gender values (including missing ones if any), except the ‘Male’ and
the ’Female' values, with ‘Unknown’. Name the variable containing the new gender
values as Gender.
• Show each customer's age in full years on 31 Jul 2022 inclusive. For example, if a
customer was born on 1 August 1998, then the customer’s age is 23. Name the variable
containing the computed age value as Age.
• Show each customer’s tenure in the number of days between the customer’s enrollment
date and 31 Jul 2022 inclusive. For example, if a customer was enrolled on 29 Jun 2022,
the customer’s tenure is 3 days. Name the variable containing the tenure values as
Tenure.
• Only these variables are contained in Customers_New: City of residence, customer’s
identity, date of birth, enrollment date, gender, age, and length of tenure

Since this is your homework, let us see what you have done so far. Post your code in a window opened with the "little running man" button.

Providing usable example data (in text form, ideally as DATA step with DATALINES) will give people something to play around and get you answers more quickly. Do not post pictures of code or data.
