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

During a CAS session, you want to analyze a large dataset that captures customer interactions. Your objective is to understand the distribution of the duration of these interactions. Considering that you're interested in the frequency distribution and descriptive statistics of a single variable, which procedure would you select?

A : PROC UNIVARIATE

B : PROC SGPLOT

C : PROC CORR

D : PROC GLM

Answer: A

Question 3

You are tasked to join two datasets named 'sales' and 'returns' in the CAS server to analyze the returned items and their original sales data. The 'sales' dataset contains a variable 'OrderID', and the 'returns' dataset contains a variable 'ReturnID', which maps to the sales order. What code snippet would efficiently join these two tables using SAS Viya's capabilities?

A : proc sql; create table sales_return as select * from sales join returns on sales.OrderID = returns.ReturnID; quit;

B : proc casutil; load data=sales return=returns out=sales_return; join condition="OrderID = ReturnID"; quit;

C : data sales_return; merge sales(in=a) returns(in=b); by OrderID; if b; run;

D : proc fedsql; create table sales_return as select * from sales inner join returns on sales.OrderID = returns.ReturnID; quit;

Answer: D

Question 4

A data analyst is working on a SAS Viya project and needs to read an external CSV file into the SAS Viya environment. The external CSV file is located on a network drive that the SAS Viya environment can access. Which of the following methods would be the best practice for specifying the location of the input data to ensure that the data can be efficiently imported?

A : Hard-code the full network path to the CSV file in the data step.

B : Use the LIBNAME statement with the CAS engine to assign a libref to the network location.

C : Import the data to a local machine and then upload it to the SAS Viya server using the SAS Studio interface.

D : Store the file on a cloud storage service and use PROC HTTP to access it.

Answer: B

Question 5

2:** Imagine you are performing data analysis in SAS Viya and you have created several in-memory tables in your session. After performing your analysis, you decide to drop all the in-memory tables you have created to free up resources. Which of the following CAS actions allows you to drop an in-memory table named 'sessionData'?

A : table.dropTable / name='sessionData';

B : drop / table='sessionData';

C : table.drop / name='sessionData';

D : endSession / dropTables=true;

Answer: C
