hello Js,

I do not know any place online which has exercises but I do know about a
book written by Ron cody , SAS workbook and SAS by examples has plenty of
problems to work on and that should be great exercise to start with.

If you come across let me know. Earlier when I was looking I found couple of
them on school web sites (Term assignments and Quiz's ) . Good luck in your
search and let me know if you come across something

thanks
SL

Thanks SAS_learner and Ron for the help.

I found quite a few exercises on college websites as recommended by SL .
Just in case anyone else is looking for such things, I got good results
with the Google search - site:.edu "write a data step to|that"

Other than those results and the books, it's very difficult to find
anything else.

Best regards,

js

JS,

No guarantee, of course, but you might find what you're looking for in the
various links our user group has listed on our link's page.

Take a look at: http://www.torsas.ca/links.html

Hello Js,

Thanks for the Links and the attachment, I should have thought of this
earlier so stupid of me. Please check

www,prochelp,com and you should be able to find all of the resources at one
place (couple of them are broken ) but still you browse around and there is
very nice paper which has links to lot resources

Good luck with your research
