How can I see the number of missing values and patterns of missing values in my data file?
How can I count the number of missing values for a character variable?
How can I increment dates in SAS?How can I find things in a character variable in SAS?
How do I standardize variables (make them have a mean of 0 and sd of 1)?
Is there a quick way to create dummy variables?

Reading/Writing Data Files
How do I read a file that uses commas, tabs or spaces as delimiters to separate variables?
How do I read a delimited file with missing values?
How do I read a delimited file that has delimiters embedded in the data?
What are some common infile options for reading a raw data file?
How do I read raw data files compressed with gzip (.gz files) in SAS?
How do I write a data file that uses commas, tabs or spaces as delimiters between variables?How do I read/write Excel files in SAS version 8?

Reading/Writing SAS Files with Formats
How do I use a SAS data file with a format library?
How do I use a SAS data file when I don't have its format library?

Other:
How can I change the way variables are displayed in proc freq?
