INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Below are three files- a patient file, an inpatient (hospital) file, and an outpatient file.  Cut and paste the data into three separate external, raw data files.  There is also charge category information to be used as input into a user-defined format.

The assignment is to print the list of patients who have spent five or more days in the hospital (inpatient) and have both inpatient and ouptatient costs (use of in= variables highly encouraged).

Print a list of qualifying patients, sorted by last name, and include full name (form: firstname lastname), gender, age (as of program run date) and total cost (inpatient + outpatient).

Set up the number of hospital days required (five) for this report as a SAS macro variable (as opposed to a macro).

Create a charge category lookup file using a user-defined format (as discussed in class and in Section 4.8 of the book).  Note that if you use the Value statment (which you should), you'll need to convert the resultant character variable to a number using the input function. For example (variable names can be changed, of course):

opchargeamount = input(put(chargecat, $chargeamtfmt.),8.);

Note that the first day (the admit date) of inpatient visits counts as one day.
