Assertion Execution via Macro

The script begins with a `%put` instruction that displays the text 'this is a test' in the SAS^© log, often used for debugging or traceability purposes. It then calls the `%mp_assert` macro, typical of SAS^© unit testing tools like SASUnit. This macro takes a logical condition (`iftrue=(1=1)`) as a parameter, which is evaluated, and a test description (`desc`). Since the condition `1=1` is always true, this assertion will always pass, confirming the proper functioning of the assertion mechanism and recording the associated description in the test results.

Data Analysis

Type : INTERNAL_CREATION

This script does not manipulate data from external sources. The `%put` instruction operates on a literal character string and the `%mp_assert` macro evaluates an internal logical condition (`1=1`), without requiring access to SAS datasets or external files.

1 Code Block

Global SAS Instruction

Explanation :
This block contains a `%put` instruction, a global SAS directive that writes text directly to the SAS log. It is commonly used for debugging, notifying execution status, or displaying informative messages during program processing.

Macro Call

Explanation :
This `%mp_assert` macro call is an assertion function, typically found in SAS unit testing frameworks like SASUnit. It checks if the condition specified by `iftrue` is true. Here, the condition `1=1` is always true, ensuring the assertion will succeed. The `desc` parameter provides a description of the test, which is recorded with the assertion result.

2	iftrue=(1=1),
3	desc=My Test Description. This will always Pass!
