Subject:      what's wrong, only 5 observations
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I accidently wrote down a strange but grammatically right code like this:

data temp;

   do i=1 to 42 by 2;

      set sasuser.actlevel;

      output;

   end;

run;

proc print;

run;



The data set being read has 42 observations. I supposed the code gave me 21
observations.
But it turned out I only got the first 5 observations from the original data
set.

Could you help me explain this results. Thanks.
