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;
