Percentile

[Saspains]

I have my assignment asking me to find 2.5 percentile and 97.5 percentile. I have tried many syntax but no one is showing output.
My variables are HEIGHT_SIT and WAIST_GRTH

Please post your code. PROC UNIVARIATE is one way to do percentiles as in this example: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=procstat&docsetTarget=procstat_univariate_examples08.htm&doc...

[Saspains]

proc univariate data=stats.sample noprint;
var HEIGHT_SIT WAIST_GRTH;
output out=PctlStrength p5=p5str p95=p2.5str;
run;

[PaigeMiller]

output out=whatever pctlpts=2.5 97.5 pctlpre=p;

Just a note for the future, if you're using a PROC and cannot find the syntax you need to use or not sure how to use, check the Examples section. In this case, the one titled "Saving percentiles in an output data set" is pretty much exactly what you want.
