Creation of 'cities' dataset

This SAS^© script uses a DATA STEP to read raw data provided via the DATALINES statement. It defines four variables: 'Year' (numeric), 'City' (character, read from columns 4 to 16, allowing to capture city names with spaces), 'Name1' (character) and 'Name2' (character). The 'cities' dataset is then created and populated with the specified observations.

Data Analysis

Type : CREATION_INTERNE

The data is provided directly in the SAS script via the DATALINES statement. The 'cities' dataset is created internally without dependence on external files or existing SAS libraries (other than default WORK).

DATA STEP Data

Explanation :
This code block is a DATA STEP that aims to create a new permanent or temporary dataset ('cities').
- The `INPUT Year City $ 4-16 Name1 $ Name2 $;` statement reads the raw data. 'Year' is read as a numeric variable. 'City' is read as a character variable (indicated by '$') from columns 4 to 16 of the data line. 'Name1' and 'Name2' are also read as character variables.
- The `DATALINES;` statement indicates that the data to be read follows immediately in the script, up to the semicolon statement on a single line.
- `RUN;` executes the DATA STEP, creating the 'cities' dataset with the provided observations.
