Review of functions
- [Narrator] SAS has many different functions and call routines for manipulating data. A SAS function is a named predefined process which can be used in a SAS program to produce a value. The function could accept none, one, or several arguments as input. Based on the arguments the function performs its specified computation or manipulation and returns a value. When you look at SAS documentation, functions and call routines are grouped by category. You should already be familiar with some functions but we'll discuss some new functions from the descriptive statistics, date and time, truncation, special, random number, and character categories.
