Working with SAS Data Sets

Create a SAS Data Set from a Matrix

Subsections:

SAS/IML software provides the capability to create a new SAS data set from a matrix. You can use the CREATE and APPEND statements to create a SAS data set from a matrix. An $n \times p$ matrix creates a SAS data set with p variables and n observations. That is, the columns of the matrix become the data set variables, and the rows of the matrix become the observations. The CREATE statement creates the new SAS data set, and the APPEND statement writes the observations.
