To use this program, follow these steps:- Open a SAS editor window (or another text editor)
- COPY the program below and PASTE it into the editor window
- Edit the program so that the FILE= specification points to where the data file is stored on your system
- Save the modified program file and RUN it using SAS
The program is below this line. If no program is listed, the URL to the EML document may be in error. If the EML file does not include all the information needed, the SAS program will have errors or be incomplete.
