Example A.2: Creating a TYPE=CORR Data Set in a DATA Step

This example creates a TYPE=CORR data set by reading a correlation matrix in a DATA step. Output A.2.1 shows the resulting data set.

   title 'Five Socioeconomic Variables';
   data datacorr(type=corr);
      infile cards missover;
      _type_='corr';
      input _name_ $ pop school employ services house;
      datalines;
   POP        1.00000
   SCHOOL     0.00975   1.00000
   EMPLOY     0.97245   0.15428   1.00000
   SERVICES   0.43887   0.69141   0.51472   1.00000
   HOUSE      0.02241   0.86307   0.12193   0.77765   1.00000
   ;
   proc print;
   run;
