In the example, the data are time series for the price of several stocks, and the headers include information about whether the stock price

Amber Elam of SAS Technical Support reveals common challenges and solutions when you convert external files into SAS data sets.

The skin is the largest organ in the body. Although many might not think of it as an organ, it accounts for ~15 percent of our body weight and it protects us. We may consider just the outer layer since that's what we see, but there are two main layers

If you could only eat one food the rest of your life, what would it be? Quite the loaded question, I know. Pizza, spaghetti, ice cream, chicken and burgers make the list but what about sweet potatoes? This versatile spud has countless preparation possibilities that’ll keep your taste buds intrigued
