SAS Comments
Two Types of Syntax
- Type comments in between /* and */
/* Create the HHTYPE Variable */
- Type comments in between an asterisk and semi-colon
* I'll select these folks later..... if HHTYPE = "Old" ;
NOTE: The forward slash asterisk commenting style can span comments made by asterisk semi-colon:
| /* I don't want to run this code ****** * I'll select these folks later..... if HHTYPE = "Old" ; proc print data=households; run; *********************************/ |
