Hi,
Murphy is right. I just experimented whatever the data set we put at the end of the data statement, it is got printed out.
Now I got two questions:
1. What's exactly the rule for the proc print without data= option in this regard? Could you say it explicitly?
2. At the end of the final execution, what on earth SAS does to those data sets included in the DATA statement?
Regards, Max

Hi,
No. The last dataset is c.

Art,
Since 15 is the last value for Age, so I would say data set A will be
printed by the proc print?

Here is a good question for the certification exam: given the following
code, which records will be printed?
data a b c;
set sashelp.class;
if age gt 15 then output a;
else if age gt 12 then output b;
else output c;
run;
proc print;
run;
