Subject:   Re: Calling any observation at random

If you have SAS/IML, you can use a module for sampling with replacement. See http://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2010/11/05/sampling-with-replacement/ or tinyurl= http://bit.ly/zVz6q8

If you have SAS/STAT, see David Cassell's paper to use the SUREVEYSELECT procedure to select random observations. http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2007/183-2007.pdf

If all you have is Base SAS, you can use the SET statement with teh POINT= option, as shown on p. 9 of Cassell's paper.
