SAS Certified Professional Prep Guide

Scenario 1

Directions

This scenario uses the Certadv.All data set. Write a SAS program that does the following:

• In a PROC FCMP step, create a temporary custom function called Adding with a numeric argument named Val. The function itself returns the value of Final, which is the value of 38 added to the value of Val. Store the function in the output library Work with the table name of Function and the package name of Add.
• In a global statement, add the appropriate option so that SAS knows where to search for the custom function.
• In a DATA step, create the temporary data set named Work.StudentCost by reading in the data set Certadv.All. Create a custom function for the Fee variable to create a variable named Final_Cost.
