1. Suppose you had the program below, and you wanted to concatenate the values from the libname and memname columns to create a call to %Report3 for each row of data read.

Which option would correctly run the program below and generate a result?

rc=dosubl(catx(%Report3,',libname,memname),')');

rc=dosubl(cats(%Report3,',libname,memname),')');

rc=dosubl(catx(%Report3(',catx(',',libname,memname),')'));

rc=dosubl(cats('%Report3(',catx(',',libname,memname),')'));

2. How many observations are in the Work.Fail data set? Exam Objective

Process data using hash objects.

b and c only.

ROUND

MULTIPLIER=

a and d only.

DATATYPE=

DEFAULT=

Returns the previous value in the underlying hash object.

8. Which program would correctly generate two separate lagged variables for each observation?

A)

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

9. How many observations are printed? Exam Objective

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

17. Which of the following statements is false?

Macro variables are text strings that are independent of SAS data sets.

A macro variable can be defined and referenced anywhere in a SAS program except within data lines.

Macro variables are always user-defined, and their values remain constant until they are changed by the user.

The values of macro variables can be up to 65,534 characters long.

18. Which PROC SQL step generates the following output from the tables Certadv.Dogs and Certadv.Pets?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

19. Which statement is true concerning the following PROC FCMP statement? proc fcmp outlib=certadv.funcs.dev;

The custom function will be stored in the Dev folder within the SAS package Certadv.Funcs.

The custom function will be stored in the Dev package within the SAS table Certadv.Funcs.

The custom function will be stored in the Certadv package within the SAS table Funcs.Dev.

21. Which of the following is not true?

The autocall facility can be used with the stored compiled macro facility.

Autocall libraries can be concatenated together.

One disadvantage of the autocall facility is that the first time you call an autocall macro in a SAS session, the macro processor must use system resources to compile it.

The autocall macro facility stores compiled SAS macros in a collection of external files called an autocall library.

Default values for keyword parameters are the values that are assigned in the macro definition, whereas positional parameters have a default value of null.

You must list positional parameters before any keyword parameters.

You can assign a null value to a keyword parameter in a call to the macro by omitting the parameter from the call.

28. What happens if you use a GROUP BY clause in a PROC SQL step without a summary function?
