I am using SAS on9.4 (TS1M0). proc surveyselect groups= option not recognized. The following SAS example does not work! At least for me. Can anyone help?
data one;
do x=1 to 10;
output;
end;
run;
proc surveyselect data=one groups=3 seed=49201 out=RandomGroups noprint;
run;
proc freq data=RandomGroups;
tables GroupID;
run;
Thanks,
Raphael
You can do the same this way :
data one;
do x=1 to 10;
output;
end;
run;
data two / view=two;
call streaminit(49201);
set one;
rnd = rand("UNIFORM");
run;
proc rank data=two out=randomGroups(drop=rnd) groups=3;
var x;
ranks groupID;
run;
proc freq data=RandomGroups;
tables GroupID;
run;

This option was added in SAS/STAT 13.1, which was 9.4m1. See the "What's New" in SAS/STAT(R) 13.1 User's Guide
According to the note below the option should be available in SAS® 9.4 TS1M0 or later.
36383 - Randomly assign the observations in a data set to two or more groups
You could have saved us some time if you had linked to that article in your original question.
It seems, then, that your question is not "How do I do this task," but rather, "Why is the web page wrong." I doubt that anyone on this list can answer that question, other than a generic response: "human error."
