Macro to display a dataset

This macro, named `AHGdisplayprint`, aims to display a SAS^© dataset. It takes the name of the dataset to print as an optional parameter. If no name is provided, it will act on the last created dataset (`_LAST_`). The display is formatted to not show observation numbers (`noobs`) and to use the minimum width for columns (`width=minimum`), making the output more compact.

Data Analysis

Type : MIXTE

The macro does not create data by itself. It is designed to read and display a dataset that must exist at the time of its execution. This dataset can come from any source (internal creation, SASHELP libname, external source) and must be specified via the `data` parameter or be the last active dataset.

1 Code Block

PROC PRINT

Explanation :
This block defines the `AHGdisplayprint` macro. It uses a `%if %length(&data)` statement to conditionally add the `data=` parameter to `PROC PRINT`. If the macro is called without a parameter (`%AHGdisplayprint()`), `PROC PRINT` will execute on the last created dataset. Otherwise, it will execute on the dataset passed as a parameter.
