The FACTMAC Procedure

OUTPUT Statement

  • OUTPUT OUT=CAS-libref.data-table <options>;

The OUTPUT statement creates an output data table to contain the results of the procedure run. You cannot specify both the OUTPUT and AUTOTUNE statements in the same run of PROC FACTMAC.

You must specify the following option:

OUT=CAS-libref.data-table

names the output data table for PROC FACTMAC to use. You must specify this option before any other options. CAS-libref.data-table is a two-level name, where

CAS-libref

refers to a collection of information that is defined in the LIBNAME statement and includes the caslib, which includes a path to where the data table is to be stored, and a session identifier, which defaults to the active session but which can be explicitly defined in the LIBNAME statement. For more information about CAS-libref, see the section Using CAS Sessions and CAS Engine Librefs.

data-table

specifies the name of the output data table.

You can also specify the following option:

COPYVAR=variable
COPYVARS=(variables)

lists one or more variables from the input data table to be transferred to the output data table.
