300 BMDP Procedure Chapter 16
The numbered lines of code are explained here:
1 This DATA step creates a SAS data set called TEMP.
2 The CONTENTS procedure shows the descriptive information for the data set
TEMP.
3 PROC BMDP calls the BMDP program BMDP1D to analyze the data set TEMP.
Note the BMDP program statements UNIT=3. and CODE=’TEMP’. The results
are stored in the BMDP save file NEW.
The word NEW must be in the SAVE paragraph. UNIT=nn should refer to the
FTnnF001 fileref that was defined in your DD statement.
4 The LIBNAME statement associates the libref FT04F001 with the BMDP engine
so that SAS knows which engine to use to access the data.
5 The DATA step reads the BMDP save file NEW, which was created in the previous
PROC BMDP step. It uses the two-level name FT04F001.NEW to reference the file.
6 The CONTENTS procedure prints the information regarding all members that
reside in the FT04F001 file. The _ALL_ member name is a special member name
for the BMDP engine; it causes PROC CONTENTS to process all BMDP members
in the file.
7 The CONVERT procedure converts the BMDP save file NEW to a SAS data set
named XYZ. The NEW save file is on UNIT 4, that is, FT04F001.
The results from this SAS program are shown in the following output:
