Base SAS Example Question 1.1

Hi everyone,

I'm going to start posting example questions for the Base SAS exam about once a week. The questions will test information covered in the SAS Certification Prep Guide, and I'll provide the answers to these questions about a week or two after they're originally posted.

Please leave a comment below this post with your answer - hopefully this will start a good discussion from fellow SAS programmers who are studying for the Base SAS Certification.

Good luck!

    Read the chapter on SAS Variable naming convention. It cannot start with numeric or special characters except _. You also cannot use special characters anywhere in the name either though numerics are allowed.
