I used the code -
DATA home;
    INFILE 'c:\Cwa\Home.txt';
    INPUT Owner $ 1-7 Description $ 9-33 Cost;

I'm using the code :-

I have used Proc Genmod and Repeated Subject statement to obtain robust
standard errors in Poisson and negative binomial regression. Could anyone
please tell me something  about the STATEMENT AND possible SYNTAX that can be
used to obtain robust standard errors in Zero inflated ...

A simple question that appears to have no simple answer.  I am running a large number of 2sls regressions with proc syslin.  Each regression contains a number of useful but meaningless dummy variables.  I would like SAS to only print the parameter estimates for one or two key ...

You changed 2 places in the original code, which caused trouble:
set new POINT = choice NOBS = 10;
The 10 has to be n, a variable used later.
PROC REG DATA = analysis NOPRINT outest= outests;

Hi Angel,
Here is one approach using SQL.
Each LEFT JOIN are the separate

I am working on a survival analysis and needing some help with the
initial data management. I'm trying to create a time in study, and a
time of event.
My data is set up in such a manner:

I am fitting a PROC MIXED repeated measures model, and trying to
estimate some linear combinations of the simple effects of interest to
me.
(Data) I have 2 drugs (A and B), and gave them to patients randomly in

I know that I can input each hex character of a V4 IP address individually
and define them as PIB3. and make a dotted decimal IP address. What I'm
curious is, can I input the four character hex IP address and somehow
convert that to a decimal numbers? I've used SCAN and INPUT to go ...

You asked SAS to output rtf file to filetmp, which is temporary
in Work folder, once the session is done, it is discarded.
I think you should change this line:
ods rtf file=filetmp style=styles.&style;
