Topics of A00-212 : SAS Advanced Programming for SAS 9 Exam

Candidates must know the exam topics before they start of preparation. because it will really help them in hitting the core. Our A00-212 : SAS Advanced Programming for SAS 9 Dumps will include the following topics:

1. Accessing Data Using SQL

Generate detail reports by working with a single table, joining tables, or using set operators in the SQL procedure.

• Use the SELECT statement.
• Combine tables using set operators - union, outer join, except, intersect.
• Sort data.
• Retrieve rows that satisfy a condition.
• Join tables - inner joins, full joins, right joins, left joins.
• Validate a query.
• Create new columns.
• Select columns in a table.

Generate summary reports by working with a single table, joining tables, or using set operators in the SQL procedure.

• Group data.
• Summarize data.
• Filter grouped data.

Construct sub-queries and in-line views within an SQL procedure step.

• Reference an in-line view with other views or tables (multiple tables).
• Subset data by using non-correlated subqueries (HAVING clause).
• Subset data by using correlated subqueries.

Compare solving a problem using the SQL procedure versus using traditional SAS programming techniques.

• Use PROC SQL with the SAS Macro Facility.
• Delete rows.
• Insert rows into tables.
• Alter columns attributes.
• Create SAS Data sets (tables).
• Create an index.
• Use SAS data set options with PROC SQL.
• Delete a table.
• Update data values in a table.

Access Dictionary Tables using the SQL procedure.

• Access SAS system information by using DICTIONARY tables.
• Use the DESCRIBE TABLE statement.

2. Macro Processing

Create user-defined and automatic macro variables within the SAS Macro Language.

• Use %GLOBAL statement.
• Use INTO clause of the SELECT statement in SQL.
• Use the SYMGET function to return the value of a macro variable to the DATA step during DATA step execution.
• Use the SYMPUT and SYMPUTX routine in the DATA Step.
• Use %LOCAL statement.
• Define Macro variables.
• Use %INPUT statement.

Automate programs by defining and calling macros using the SAS Macro Language.

• Use the %MACRO statement.
• Generate SAS Code conditionally by using the %IF-%THEN-%ELSE macro statements or iterative %DO statements.
• Define a macro.
• Pass information into a macro using parameters.
• Insert comments into macros.

Understand the use of macro functions.

• Use the %MACRO statement.
• Generate SAS Code conditionally by using the %IF-%THEN-%ELSE macro statements or iterative %DO statements.
• Define a macro.
• Pass information into a macro using parameters.
• Insert comments into macros.

Use various system options that are available for macro debugging and displaying values of user-defined and automatic macro variables in the SAS log.

• Trace the flow of execution with MLOGIC.
• Use system options to track problems.
• Use the %PUT statement to track problems.
• Examine macro variable resolution with SYMBOLGEN.
• Examine the generated SAS statements with MPRINT.

Create data-driven programs using SAS Macro Language.

• Generate repetitive macro calls using the %DO loop, macro variable, and the EXECUTE routine.
• Use indirect reference to macro variables.
• Create macro variables with a list of values.

3. Advanced Programming Techniques

Demonstrate the use of advanced data look-up techniques such as array processing, hash objects, formats, and merging.

• Compare DATA step match-merge and PROC SQL joins.
• Combine data using multiple set statements with KEY= option.
• Manage custom formats with FMTSEARCH= system option.
• Use hash objects as lookup tables.
• Process data with multi-dimensional arrays.
• Create custom formats with the PICTURE statement.
• Use formats to create data via lookups.
• Combine multiple data sets using FILEVAR= option.
• Combine data conditionally using multiple set statements.

Reduce computing resource requirements by controlling the space required to store SAS data sets.

• Use SAS views.
• Eliminate variables and observations.
• Reduce length of numeric variables.
• Use compression techniques, RLE (Run-Length Encoding) and RDC (Ross Data Compression).

Use the FCMP procedure to create a user-defined function.

• Define a SAS function

Perform effective benchmarking.

• Understand resources related to efficiency.
• Use SAS System options to track resources.
• Interpret the resulting resource utilization statistics for the Z/OS environment and for directory based OS.

Use SAS indexes.

• Create and delete indexes using the DATA step, the DATASETS procedure, or the SQL procedure.
• Identify appropriate applications for using indexes.

Compare techniques to eliminate duplicate data.

• Use the DATA step.
• Use the SQL procedure.
• Use the SORT procedure.

Our braindumps (A00-212 - SAS Advanced Programming Exam for SAS 9) are very good:

As for our braindumps we provide you three types to choose. The A00-212 PDF type is available for reading and printing. You can print more and practice many times. Also you can share with your friends and compete with them. The A00-212 Software type can be downloaded in all electronics and is more inactive and interesting when you are learning. Also the software has memory function that it can pick out mistakes you make and it will require you practice many times. The A00-212 On-Line type is the updated one based on soft type. Except of the advantages on soft type it has more functions and it makes you study while you are playing.

Our company BraindumpStudy is powerful:

BraindumpStudy was built by several elite managers from different international IT companies since 2009. These people want to help more ambitious men achieve their elite dream. Our managers can get exam news always from their old friends who are working at kinds of internal company. So A00-212 is latest and valid. Our IT management will update every day.
