Manually estimate KS statistic

[Toni2]

hi i use the proc npar1way with the edf option to produce the KS statistic.

My aim is using KS to understand if sample (smp) is different from the population (pop).

When i run the proc npar1way i get the below KS :

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Two-Sample Test
(Asymptotic)
KS	0.066667	D	0.133333
KSa	0.516398	Pr > KSa	0.9525

My question is: is there any easy way to estimate KS manually in SAS in order to understand better the above outcome? 

data final;
set smp (obs=30) pop (obs=30);
run;

proc sort data=final;
by application_score;
run;


ods graphics on;
proc npar1way edf plots=edfplot data=final;
class source;
var application_score;
/*exact ks;*/
run;
ods graphics off;

Maybe @Rick_SAS  could give you a hand.

Here is an example:
