Creating and Displaying an In-Stream Dataset

The first step uses a DATA STEP with the `cards;` statement to read raw data directly embedded in the script and organize it into a temporary SAS^© dataset. The second step uses PROC PRINT to display all observations and variables of the newly created dataset in the SAS^© output.

Data Analysis

Type : CREATION_INTERNE

Data is directly embedded in the SAS script via the `cards;` statement within a DATA STEP, making it internal and self-contained.

1 Code Block

DATA STEP Data

Explanation :
This DATA STEP block is used to create a temporary SAS dataset named `instream_mtcars`. Variables `cars`, `mpg`, `cyl`, `disp`, `hp`, and `drat` are defined, and data is read directly from the lines following the `cards;` statement. `informat cars$12.;` specifies that the `cars` variable is a character of length 12.

8	RUN;

2 Code Block

PROC PRINT

Explanation :
This block uses PROC PRINT to display the entire content of the previously created `instream_mtcars` dataset. It is a simple procedure to visualize the data in the output window.
