Hi All,   Can anyone please explain the below mentioned code as to why the answer is C. As per my understanding the answer should be B because the automatic conversion will happen.    The following SAS program is submitted: data work.retail; cost = `20000'; total= .10* cost run; What is the result? A. The value of the variable TOTAL in the output data set is 2000. No messages are written to the SAS log. B. The value of the variable TOTAL in the output data set is 2000. A note that conversion has taken place is written to the SAS log. C. The value of the variable TOTAL in the output data set is missing. An error message is written to the SAS log. D. The variable TOTAL in the output data set has no value. The program fails to execute due to a syntax error.   Although i did get answer C when i ran the code but i am just posting here to understand the logic. Thanks in advance. ... View more
