SAS t-test Commands This handout illustrates how to read in raw data to SAS, set up missing values and create new variables using transformations and recodes. We illustrate independent samples t-tests, paired t-tests, and one-sample t-tests. Read in Raw Data In the first data step, we read in the raw data using an infile and input statement. We dont need to tell SAS the column location of each variable, because there is at least one blank between variables, so we can use a free-format input statement where the variables are simply listed in the order they appear in the raw data file. /*
