Abstract

In the last chapter we have seen that SAS data sets as well as external files can be input to a DATA step. So far the only output from a DATA step has been a SAS data set. In this chapter we show that a DATA step can also have an external file as output. In addition we show how to have several data sets as output from one DATA step and how to restrict the observations on the output data set.
