Which statements read the input data set SASHELP. SHOES and create the output data set WORK. TOTAL?
Correct Answer: C
Option C is correct. The set statement is used within a DATA step to read an existing SAS data set. In this case, set sashelp.shoes; reads the SASHELP.SHOES data set, and data work.total; specifies the creation of a new data set named TOTAL in the WORK library. The options A, B, and D are incorrect because they either use the wrong syntax or are not proper statements for reading an input data set and creating an output data set. References: * SAS 9.4 documentation on the DATA step.
