Edit Save Options

When you open the Edit Save Options window for the Save Data node, use the following fields to select and save output tables from a modeling node. When you finish making changes and click OK, run the node again.

Output tables

The tables listed are generated by the modeling node. You can set the save options for each individual table.

The tables are listed by their descriptive labels. For a description of each table, see Output Data Sets.

If Save Options is connected to the Hierarchical Modeling node, you can save the following tables for each level in the project hierarchythe order of the variables that you have assigned to the BY variables role. An example of a hierarchy is Region > Product Category > Product Line. .

• Statistics of fit (OUTSTAT)
• Model attributes (OUTMODELINFO)
• Forecasted values (OUTFOR)
• Model forecasts (OUTFOR_MODEL)

At the lowest level in the hierarchy, you can also save these tables.

• Descriptive statistics (OUTSUM)
• User-defined and derived attributes (MERGED_ATRIBUTES)
• Model statistics of fit (OUTSTAT_MODEL)

Apply an existing filter

Any filtersa set of specified criteria that are applied to data in order to identify the subset of data for a subsequent operation, such as continued processing. that have been defined for the project are listed. If you select a filter, the output table lists only time seriesan aggregation of transactional data into specified time intervals and sorted according to unique combinations of the default attributes (BY variables) that match the filter that you specify.

Select the output library for all tables

Click Browse to select a caslib to store the tables. This field is enabled after you have selected a table and clicked Include in output .

Include in output

After selecting a table on the left side of the window, select this option to save the table to a caslib.

Note: Each time you run Save Data, the tables are saved to the caslib as long as Include in output is selected. If you deselect Include in output for any table that has been saved, the table is no longer updated when Save Data is run. The table remains in the caslib until you remove it.

Table name

Specify the name that you want to use to save the table. By default, the name uses the format: ModelingNodeName _TableName .

Note: If a table already exists in the caslib with the table name, you should change the name of the table to prevent overwriting it. To check the caslib for existing tables, click and select Manage Data.

There is no limit to the length of the table name. However, if the length is longer than 32 characters, the table cannot be accessed from SAS Studio.

Replace existing table

Select this option to overwrite any existing table of the same name in the caslib.

Promote table

Select this option to promote the table to global scope so that it is available after the current CAS session is terminated. If this option is not selected, the table is saved only as a SASHDAT data set. Selecting this option also saves the table to the CAS.

Description

The text that you include here is added as a label to the saved table.

Columns

Lists all of the columns in the selected table. Click to remove or rearrange the columns in the table.
