Answer: B

The dataset has ‘chem2’ and the if statement is looking for ‘Chem2’…
Remember the SAS variables are not case-sensitive but the SAS DATA is…

libname sasdata 'SAS-data-library';

That line is a bit misleading since 'SAS-data-library' isn't a valid name for a SAS data library...

To get a clear understand, try this code!! Senior Chemist will only occur with chem3

data chemists;
infile datalines;
input jobcode $;
datalines;
chem3
Chem3
CHEM3
cHEm3
;


data test;
set chemists;
if jobcode = 'chem3'
then description = 'Senior Chemist';
else description = 'Unknown';
run;
