The PLM Procedure

CODE Statement

CODE <options> ;

The CODE statement writes SAS DATA step code for computing predicted values of the fitted model either to a file or to a catalog entry. This code can then be included in a DATA step to score new data.

Table 73.3 summarizes the options available in the CODE statement.

Table 73.3: CODE Statement Options
