Make sure the library reference is correct. Is the file really located in 'c:\temp' as indicated in this libname statement. libname wc 'c:\temp'; Good luck! ... View more

It basically concatenated the 0's and 1's into a string ('111', '101', '001', etc) and then that string was converted to a number based on the binary informat. You could also have calculated the binary number from the individual variables. comb=A*2**2+B*2**1+C*2**0; ... View more

You could do something like... comb=input(catx(put(A,1.),put(B,1.),put(C,1.)),binary3.); Good luck! ... View more

Right, plotting any variable against itself is a line with an intercept at 0 and slope of 1 (x=1*x+0). SAS has options to add vertical or horizontal reference lines (x=5 or y=10) but not for x=y. That it why you would need to either plot another line (x*x or y*y) or use the annotation facility to draw a line on top of the graph. ... View more

Is this for proc gplot? I think the simplest way is to use the overlay option and plot one variable against itself. proc gplot data=dataset; plot y*x x*x/overlay; run; You could also create another dummy variable that spans the x/y axis in case there isn't enough variability in x or y. Using an annotated dataset would also work. ... View more

You are missing quotes around one i.e. star="one". Keep in mind that matching in SAS is case sensitive. You might want to do if upcase(star)="ONE". There might also be a SAS informat to read character versions of numbers but I'm not as sure about that. ... View more

You are mixing the data step and proc sql code. When using "data testout; set test..." you cannot use the proc sql type statements (select from, left join, etc.). ... View more

If the data is already collected then you have no control over the power unless you are allowed to collect more data. You don't assign a power when you are doing a Wilcoxon signed rank test (or any test really). You can only influence the power by changing sample size or alpha before you collect your data. That is why all you found about power was related to sample size. ... View more
