Answer / pratik
Suppose we have dataset like sasuser.admit.
we dontknow how many obs are there in this dataset.
then we can use
Proc contents data=sasuser.admit n;
run;
it will come the total no of obs in this dataset.
after doing this you will get 21 obs are there.
data dsn1;
set sasuser.admit(firstobs=12 obs=21);
run;
proc print data=dsn1;
run;
then you will get last 10 obs.
