I am trying to change the test from Ho:B1=0 vs Ha:B1^=0 to Ho:B1=2 vs. Ha:B1^=2

Use the TEST statement in PROC REG. Examples: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmmvacdc/9.4/statug/statug_reg_syntax20.htm

What if I want to do a one-sided t-test for regression?
PaigeMiller
Diamond | Level 26

The PROC REG output contains two-sided tests. If you were to do a two-sided test at the alpha=0.05 level, then 0.025 chance of a type I error is in the upper tail and 0.025 chance of a type I error is in the lower tail. 

 

You want a one-sided test with alpha=0.05 in one tail and alpha=0 in the other tail. So, if the pvalue from SAS is <0.10, your one-sided test is statistically significant at the alpha=0.05 level, because 0.05 chance of type I error in one tail, and 0 percent chance of type I error in the other tail.
