Execution of Test Assertion `mp_assert`

This SAS^© script executes the `%mp_assert` macro, a typical feature of test frameworks like SASUnit. It checks if the condition specified in the `iftrue` parameter evaluates to true. In this case, `1=1` is always true, meaning the assertion should pass. The assertion's description, 'Checking result was created', is provided by the `desc` parameter. The result of this assertion is stored in the `work.test_results` dataset, allowing for analysis of test successes and failures. This type of call is used to validate the expected behavior of a SAS^© program or function.

Data Analysis

Type : CREATION_INTERNE

The `work.test_results` dataset is internally generated by the `%mp_assert` macro to store metadata and the assertion result. No external data is used as direct input by this macro.

APPEL DE MACRO Data

Explanation :
This block is a call to the `%mp_assert` macro. The `iftrue=(1=1)` parameter defines the logical condition to test, which is always true here. `desc='Checking result was created'` provides a human-readable description of the assertion's purpose. `outds=work.test_results` specifies the dataset in the `work` library where the assertion results (success/failure, description, etc.) will be stored. This is a fundamental instruction for validating the expected behavior of a program or function within a unit testing framework.
