Creating and Displaying Instream Data

The script begins with a DATA step that reads textual data included via the CARDS statement and assigns them to the specified variables (cars, mpg, cyl, disp, hp, drat) to create the 'instream_mtcars' dataset. Then, a PROC PRINT is used to generate a report displaying all observations and variables of the 'instream_mtcars' dataset in the SAS^© output.

Data Analysis

Type : INTERNAL_CREATION

The data is created directly within the SAS script via the CARDS statement in a DATA step. It is therefore an internal data source to the program.

1 Code Block

DATA STEP Data

Explanation :
This block uses a DATA step to create a temporary dataset named 'instream_mtcars'. The variables 'cars' (character), 'mpg', 'cyl', 'disp', 'hp', 'drat' (numeric) are defined. The CARDS statement indicates that the following data lines until a semicolon (;) is encountered are the data to be read and inserted into the dataset. This data represents two car models with their corresponding attributes.

2 Code Block

PROC PRINT

Explanation :
This block uses PROC PRINT to display the content of the 'instream_mtcars' dataset. The 'data=instream_mtcars' option specifies the dataset to be printed. By default, PROC PRINT displays all observations and all variables of the dataset in the output window.
