SAS Exam A00-232 - specific question regarding comma separated list

[Rampsas1]

Hello,

Below is a specific question from A00-232 practice exam located here  https://learn.sas.com/course/view.php?id=9

(I might assume that there are different practice test versions for different users)

"Use SAS dictionary tables, run a PROC SQL query to create a macro variable named COL_LIST which contains a comma separated list of the columns contained in the CERT.AIR10 data set"

i) Per SAS, the correct answer is: DATE, AIR << with a comma + space delimiter

      >>> select name into :col_list separated by ', '

ii) If we are indeed using a comma separated list, then the correct answer is: DATE,AIR << with a comma delimiter ONLY

      >>> select name into :col_list separated by ','

I answered as in ii) but it was marked incorrect.

Not an issue on a practice exam but it might be an issue on the actual exam.

Any observations on my assessment?

many thanks

You are right.  Hopefully they QC the questions on the actual exam better.
