SASUnit Assertion Test

The main script consists of two statements: a %put statement to display a simple message in the SAS^© log, and a call to the %mp_assert macro. This macro, from the SASUnit unit testing framework, is used to verify logical conditions. Here, it evaluates whether the expression '1=1' is true, which is always the case, and records the test result with a specified description. This code demonstrates the use of an assertion for a unit test and provides simple visual feedback via the SAS^© log.

Data Analysis

Type : NONE

The script is a unit test that does not manipulate data in the traditional sense. It evaluates an internal logical condition (`1=1`) without interacting with external or specifically created datasets.

SAS Statement

Explanation :
This SAS statement displays the string 'this is a test' in the SAS log. It is commonly used for debugging, marking execution steps, or providing information to the user during program execution.

1	%put this is a test;

MACRO CALL

Explanation :
This `%mp_assert` macro call is a key feature of the SASUnit test framework. It is used to define and execute an assertion. The `iftrue=(1=1)` parameter specifies the condition to test, which is always true here. The `desc` parameter provides a textual description of the test, which is essential for the readability of unit test reports. Executing this macro will record a positive result for this assertion within the SASUnit context.

1	%mp_assert(
2	iftrue=(1=1),
3	desc=My Test Description. This will always Pass!
