Re: SAS Macro - Error submitted by using a PUT statement

This is a solution!! Probably a bit too much for the knowledge the candidate is expected to have, even the functions used are part of the exam, so it might be correct.    The way to highlight that part of the code and then execute it only, can't work in the exam @PaigeMiller . That's because in the advanced programming exam, you save a sas program for each answer, and a macro program provided before evaluates your sas program returning a 3-digits code, which has to be insert as answer into a cell. So the whole program is compiled, leaving no possibility to highlight it.    ... View more

It is not allowed to modify the macro program.   Recalling that macro, the result should be:  1) no error message  2) proc print (from the sas program) prints    None of the exam answer was so dumb: there is an option or the question was wrong (it's not a new).  ... View more

No, the program should be that. It can't be CHANGED, that's the meaning. ... View more

As I said, maybe that was a BUG of the exam. As far as I got from your answers, that's what you also think. Thanks ... View more

That was the exam question. "It's not possible to add anything else to the macro program".  If I modify the program, the evaluation points are ZERO.    I don't think you get the question. Of course you can to modify the code. Here is not possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   We have a sort of constraint that I found myself bumping up against. Again: it's an exam question. ... View more

The macro program should execute the proc print and not show the error in the log! Most likely there is an option for that. Maybe there is no solution and the question was wrong! ... View more

Hi Everyone.    Lately I got to deal with the folliwing issue. I am wondering if there is any SAS inhabitant able to figure a way out of that. It's simple, but not easy.  This was the last practical question of the "SAS Certified Professional: Advanced Programming Using SAS 9.4".   Program: %macro Test(); %put ERROR: Do not print; proc print data=sashelp.cars; run; %mend; options /* **??** */; %Test();   Log   The description was very clear:   "It's not possible to add anything else to the macro program. How do we make the program execute without errors?" I am wondering if there is an option (on errors or macro) to avoid it. I already tried a few, but it still makes my brain wrecking.   Thanks. Regards.  Vittorio ... View more
