Hello helpful SAS community -
I need to analyze an outcome variable STATUS (1=improved, 2=same, 3=worsened) using a proportional odds model - a technique I've never used before.  I want to adjust for  Stratum and Site, both categorical variables.
From my reading of the SAS manual, ...

assuming the following sample (pseudocode)
*using sql server 2000 with sp3;
*table has been created with var x and y, numeric 8.;
data test; do x = 1 to 10;y=uniform(0);output;end;run;

Can anyone tell me how to parse out a variable name into sas variable value.
For example let's say I have a variable called prem_disc_12_31_1987
I'd like to set the date variable date_prem_disc equal to the sas date
value for 12311987 (parsed from the variable name above).

I need to add, as a new variable, a count of the occurence of a separate
variable. So, I have a data set that looks like this:
Y  X
4  1

Dear SAS-L,
I realize this is a simple question, though I can't find an explicit answer
to it in the SAS V8 docs.  Is it legal in Base SAS to define an array
with previously existing variables?  For instance,

Hi all, I am using SAS v8.2 and MS Word 2000.  I have a Word template that I
am inserting a graph (CGM) into.  When I save the file, there is an added
blank page at the end.  Does anyone have code I can use in a data _null_,
put statement to delete the extra page?  Thanks!  Deb

Mike Rhoads and I had an interesting conversation this morning when he
asked, "How and at what point does SAS determine whether an array is
implicit or explicit?"  We were both somewhat shocked to find it is sort
like a quantum wave that doesn't collapse until you observe it.  ...

I have been lurking on SAS-L for a while and now find myself in the position of seeking some assistance from the SAS-L community.
I've been chartered to read in data from a number of phone switches and have been able to successfully figure out the format for a number of them. ...

In a week or so I'll be working with a 500 GB or so DB2 UDB 8.1 data mart
running on an IBM p690.  I'm trying to get a jump on things and I'd very
much apprecate recommendations on books and manuals that will be useful.
Amazon.com has only one book that's specifically for DB2 and ...

This question may have been asked by many before.
I have a flat file that has many variables. Record length is about
3500. It has a matching key.
I have read one var off this file to creat a new var. Now I have a new

See PROC DATASETS, MODIFY, ALTER=, PW= in the docs.
You might want to consider O/S security as well since it's certainly
possible to view the contents of SAS datasets with a text editor even when
it is SAS password protected.

how can I output time with a leading zero?
for example, in getting a datetime value from a SQL table, the date is
always mmddyy (or can be formatted) but the timepart(datevar) is formatted
as 0:00:00 if hours are from 0 to 9
