      options pagesize=55 nonumber;
      proc tabulate data=clinic.admit;
         class actlevel;
         var age height weight;
         table actlevel,(age height weight)*mean;
      run;
      options linesize=80;
      proc means data=clinic.heart min max maxdec=1;
         var arterial heart cardiac urinary;
         class survive sex;
      run;

   	a.	The PROC MEANS output has a print line width of 80 characters, but the PROC TABULATE output has no print line width.
   	b.	The PROC TABULATE output has no page numbers, but the PROC MEANS output has page numbers.
   	c.	Each page of output from both PROC steps is 55 lines long and has no page numbers, and the PROC MEANS output has a print line width of 80 characters.
   	d.	The date does not appear on output from either PROC step.

2. How can you create SAS output in HTML format?

   	a.	You can specify system options to create HTML output, but not all system options apply to HTML output.
   	b.	You can create HTML output using programming statements on any SAS platform.
   	c.	You can create HTML output using programming statements on only some SAS platforms. On other platforms, you can create HTML output using SAS windows.
   	d.	You can create HTML output on only some SAS platforms. On these platforms, you use SAS windows to specify the results format.

3. For the date values 05May1955 and 04Mar2046 to be read correctly using the DATE9. informat (ddmmmyyyy), what value must the YEARCUTOFF= option have?
