I'd like to convert this program to a cas action like freqtab. Can I use the _numeric_ shortcut in an cas action?
Have:
proc format;
value $ missfmt ' '="Missing" other="Not Missing";
value nmissfmt .="Missing" other="Not Missing";
run;
*Proc freq to count missing/non missing;
options casdatalimit=all;
ods table onewayfreqs=temp;
proc freq data=MKT.PROFILE_PORTFOLIO;
table _all_ / missing;
format _numeric_ nmissfmt. _character_ $missfmt.;
run;
Want:
proc cas;
action freqTab.freqTab /
table={name='PROFILE_PORTFOLIO', caslib="mkt",
....
No, it does not appear possible to use special name lists and the documentation does not seem to support it.
Some tips:
Add user-defined formats to CAS with the CASFMTLIB option:
proc format CASFMTLIB = "CASFORMATS";
value $ missfmt ' '="Missing" other="Not Missing";
value nmissfmt .="Missing" other="Not Missing";
run;
Apply formats with the ALTERTABLE action:
proc cas;
table.altertable / columns{{name = "Var1", format = "$missfmt."
{name = "Var2", format = "nmissfmt."}},
name='PROFILE_PORTFOLIO';
action freqTab.freqTab /
table={name='PROFILE_PORTFOLIO', caslib="mkt", ...
