Question 1

A programmer needs to execute a series of data preparation steps that rely on traditional SAS data set access, manipulation, and reporting procedures, and some steps are highly I/O intensive due to the data size. Based on these requirements, which environment should the programmer choose for the execution of this code?

A : The Compute Server, to utilize the traditional SAS programming environment

B : The CAS environment, to benefit from its in-memory processing power

C : The client machine, because I/O intensive tasks are best handled locally

D : The execution environment does not matter as long as enough memory is allocated

Answer: A

Question 2

A data scientist wants to create a new variable in a dataset 'monthly_sales' that classifies each observation as "High", "Medium", or "Low" based on the value of 'total_sales'. Which function should be used to accomplish this?

A : The `IFN()` function

B : The `FLOOR()` function

C : The `CATEGORIZE()` function

D : The `CHOOSE()` function

Answer: A

Question 3

A data analyst needs to create a view that includes data from the 'transactions' table but only for the records where the transaction amount is higher than 5000. Which PROC SQL code snippet would allow the analyst to create this view in SAS Viya correctly?

A : PROC SQL; CREATE VIEW high_value_transactions AS SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE transaction_amount > 5000; QUIT;

B : PROC PRINT; CREATE VIEW high_value_transactions AS SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE transaction_amount > 5000; RUN;

C : DATA high_value_transactions; SET transactions; WHERE transaction_amount > 5000; RUN;

D : PROC SQL; CREATE VIEW high_value_transactions AS SELECT * FROM transactions HAVING transaction_amount > 5000; QUIT;

Answer: A

Question 4

A programmer is using the SAS Viya environment for analysis and needs to write output data to a secured location that multiple users can access. The location is on a server where permissions are managed through access control lists. How should the programmer reference the secured location for the output data to ensure that the correct access controls are applied?

A : Reference the secured location directly within the DATA step using a filename with a hardcoded path and set the file permissions using the X command after the DATA step.

B : Use the LIBNAME statement with appropriate engine options to dynamically assign a libref to the secured location, ensuring it complies with established access control lists.

C : Ignore server permissions and use the CAS engine's default settings for output data location, relying on SAS Viya's internal security model to manage file permissions.

D : Manually copy the output data to the secured location using an operating system command after the completion of the SAS job.

Answer: B

Question 5

A data analyst needs to append two tables, `sales2019` and `sales2020`, which reside in the CAS environment. Both tables have the same structure and variables, but each contains records from the respective year. Which CAS action should the analyst use to perform this task efficiently?

A : table.save

B : table.concat

C : table.append

D : datastep.runcode

Answer: B
