Featured in: Transposing Data for Statistical Analysis

COPY variable(s);

Required Argument

variable(s): names one or more variables that the COPY statement copies directly from the input data set to the output data set without transposing them.

Details
Because the COPY statement copies variables directly to the output data set, the number of observations in the output data set is equal to the number of observations in the input data set.

The procedure pads the output data set with missing values if the number of observations in the input data set and the number of variables it transposes are not equal.
