How would you keep from overlaying the a SAS set with its
sorted version?
Answer Posted / hsong001
I agree that we can use the out= options in proc sort to
create a new data set for the sorted version. However,
sometimes we just forgot it. To prevent overwritten the
original data set that in a permanent library, we can specify:
options noreplace;
This will prevent accidentally overlaying the original data
set in case out= option is not specified.
