Processing Data Iteratively DO Loop Processing Statements within a DO loop execute for a specific number of iterations or until a specific condition stops the loop. DO Loop Processing You can use DO loops to perform repetitive calculations generate data eliminate redundant code execute SAS code conditionally. Repetitive Coding Compare the interest for Yearly versus quarterly compounding on a $50,000 investment made for one Year at 7.5 percent interest. How much money will a person accrue in each situation? Repetitive Coding data compound; Amount=50000; Rate=.075; Yearly=Amount*Rate; Quarterly+((Quarterly+Amount)*Rate/4); Quarterly+((Quarterly+Amount)*Rate/4); Quarterly+((Quarterly+Amount)*Rate/4); Quarterly+((Quarterly+Amount)*Rate/4); run; Repetitive Coding proc print data=compound noobs; run; DO Loop Processing The Iterative DO Statement The iterative DO statement executes statements between DO and END statements repetitively, based on the value of an index variable. specification-1…specification-n can represent a range of values or a list of specific values. The Iterative DO Statement The values of start, stop, and increment must be numbers or expressions that yield numbers are established before executing the loop. Any changes to the values of stop or increment made within the DO loop do not affect the number of iterations. The Iterative DO Statement What are the values of each of the four index variables? The Iterative DO Statement What are the values of each of the four index variables? The Iterative DO Statement What are the values of each of the four index variables? The Iterative DO Statement What are the values of each of the four index variables? The Iterative DO Statement item-1 through item-n can be either all numeric or all character constants, or they can be variables. The DO loop is executed once for each value in the list. The Iterative DO Statement How many times will each DO loop execute? The Iterative DO Statement Ho
