Project 1

Erie Marathon, Part A

1. Write a SAS program that reads the following data from the input file erie-marathon-2006.txt:
    
   
   ID Number, Place, First 10 to 13 Characters of the Name, Final Time, Mile Pace
   
   
2. Submit a zip file with your SAS source code and input file.
    
3. Include the following in your source code:
    
   
   1. A header comment with your name, project number, and submission date
       
   2. Labels that clarify your variable names.
       
   3. A title for your proc print output pages.
       
   4. A method for discarding input lines like
      

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      

      or

      Pace: 6:00 | 7:00 | 8:00 | 9:00 | 10:00 | 11:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 14:00 | 15:00 | Top
      

   
   
4. Print the dataset in two ways:
    
   
   1. Sorted by name, using proc print.
       
   2. Sorted by time, writing to an external output file using file and put statements.
   
   Use informats and formats where appropriate.

The analysis of the Erie Marathon dataset will continue in Project 3 with more extensive reports.

Grading Breakdown: Functionality: 70%; Indentation: 10%; Source Code Comments: 10%; Submitted Correctly: 10%.
Submitted correctly means that your zipfile name should include the project number and your name. Your zipfile should contain your source code file and the input file. You do not need to include your output file or log.
