The Data set has 3 observations....
The datastep executes till it reaches the end of the observations...Here we are look for the iteration counts.....ie. 3
plz explain it in detail i didnt get
I too couldnt get it either
plz explain it again....i also didnt get it
Should the answer be A? Logic: There are a total of 10 observations and 8 would be deleted because the initial="D" in only two observations (Dawn in data B and data C). The observation "deb" in data C does not have a capital "D" so will be deleted. Therefore answer is A.
set 'data a' has only three observations, this must be what is to be counted. 'data b' and data c' is never used. Am I correct?
