CALCULATED keyword
Learn CALCULATED keyword in SAS through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.
CALCULATED keyword is an atomic SAS lesson inside PROC SQL. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on CALCULATED keyword rather than on generic SAS syntax.
Topic-specific example
proc sql; select total*0.1 as tax, total+calculated tax as grand from work.orders; quit;
For CALCULATED keyword, inspect the SAS log as well as the output data set; type conversion, missing values, and BY-group ordering can change results without stopping execution.
