Can anyone pls explain what actually happen in the below sas script. I am unable to understan .AS in the script.

PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE in.AAAA as
SELECT

Client AS IDNumber,
CIDNumber AS au_IDNumber,

. as Emp,

BN871,
BN562,
BN123,
BN346,

. as MT111,
. as MT112,
. as MT113,
. as MT114,

D_host,
AXZ_host,
TJD_AG,

FROM in.PME_SDC;
QUIT;

Extra comma at the end. 🙂

PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE in.AAAA as
SELECT Client AS IDNumber, CIDNumber AS au_IDNumber, . as Emp, BN871, BN562, BN123, BN346, . as MT111, . as MT112, . as MT113, . as MT114, D_host, AXZ_host, TJD_AG

Thanks Satish... it works now...

. as Emp

means "assign a missing numerical value to newly created variable Emp".
