SAS User File for H135C Data                                                                   
                                                                                                    
This file contains information and sample SAS programs to create a permanent                        
SAS dataset for users who want to use SAS in processing the MEPS data                               
provided in this PUF release.                                                                       
                                                                                                    
There are two ways to create a permanent SAS dataset, using either the SAS                          
transport data file (H135C.SSP) or the ASCII data file (H135C.DAT)                        
supplied in this PUF release.  Section A provides a sample SAS program for the                      
first alternative, which is to convert the SAS transport data file to a                             
regular SAS dataset using the SAS PROCedure: XCOPY.  Section B provides a                           
sample SAS program for the second alternative, which is to read data from the                       
ASCII data file using a SAS DATA step with INFILE, INPUT, and LABEL                                 
statements.  Section C explains format-related SAS statements that a user may                       
optionally use when working with the SAS dataset.  Examples of SAS programs                         
(DATA step or PROC) are provided in all three sections, primarily for the                           
benefit of inexperienced users.  Section D contains complete SAS statements                         
that must be used in the programs described in Sections B and C.

The sample SAS programs provided in Sections A and B show how to create a                           
permanent SAS dataset from the data files provided in this PUF release.                             
                                                                                                    
A.     A Sample SAS Program for Converting the SAS Transport File to a                              
Permanent SAS Dataset                                                                               
                                                                                                    
The SAS PROCedure XCOPY will read a SAS transport file and convert the                              
data to regular SAS format, storing the output in a permanent SAS dataset.                          
This permanent SAS dataset can then be used for all future processing and                           
analyses.                                                                                           
                                                                                                    
Below is a sample SAS program that can be used to convert the SAS transport                         
file to a permanent SAS dataset (in a Windows environment, with SAS V8 or                           
higher).

     RUN;                                                                                           
                                                                                                    
SAS transport files, SAS data files, and SAS program files each should be                           
stored in separate locations (directory names). Storing different types of                          
SAS files in one location can cause errors with converting                                          
or retrieving data.                                                                                 
                                                                                                    
Below are SAS statements to print a list of variables and a few sample records                      
from the permanent SAS dataset:

The LIBNAME statement tells SAS the location (directory name) to store the                          
permanent SAS dataset which is output by PROC XCOPY.  The FILENAME statement                        
tells SAS the location (complete directory and file name) of the input SAS                          
transport data file.                                                                                
                                                                                                    
NOTES:                                                                                              
     1) If you have an error reading a SAS data file you created, the problem                       
        may be a result of where you are storing and/or how you are retrieving                      
        the data.  First check the data library for multiple releases of SAS                        
        files (e.g., V8 or higher with file extensions of '.SAS7BDAT' and V6                        
        with file extensions of '.SD2') stored in the same location.                                
                                                                                                    
           a) You can avoid errors when reading these files by including                            
              the SAS release within the LIBNAME statement  - e.g.,                                 
                     LIBNAME PUFLIB V8 'C:\MEPS\SASDATA';                                           
           or                                                                                       
                                                                                                    
           b) Store SAS data files with different file extensions such as .SD2                      
              and .SAS7BDAT, in separate folders (do not co-mingle V8 and V6                        
              files in the same folder);                                                            
           or                                                                                       
                                                                                                    
           c) When importing transport files, output the SAS dataset to                             
              a different library than the one which contains the downloaded                        
              SAS transport file - e.g.,                                                            
                     LIBNAME PUFLIB 'C:\MEPS\SASDATA';                                              
                     FILENAME IN1 'C:\MEPS\DOWNLOAD\Hxxx.SSP';                                      
                     PROC XCOPY IN=IN1 OUT=PUBLIB IMPORT;                                           
                     RUN;                                                                           
                                                                                                    
     2)  The names used in the LIBNAME and FILENAME statements shown                                
     above (i.e., PUFLIB, IN1) are arbitrary; they are only temporary                               
     aliases.                                                                                       
                                                                                                    
     3)  The directory and file names used in the LIBNAME and FILENAME                              
     statements shown above are Windows syntax and may need to be                                   
     modified for other operating systems such as UNIX, MAC/OS, VMS, or                             
     OS/2.                                                                                          
                                                                                                    
     4)  H135C is the internal SAS dataset name (also the PC file name,                        
     without the extension) prior to the creation of the SAS transport data                         
     file.  After running PROC XCOPY, the output SAS dataset assumes the same                       
     dataset name (or file name).  Hence, in the example above, a file named                        
     H135C.SAS7BDAT will be created under the C:\MEPS\SASDATA directory when                   
     PROC XCOPY runs successfully.                                                                  
                                                                                                    
     5)  The SAS transport file H135C.SSP was created from a SAS V9                            
     data file, using PROC COPY.  This file has been tested for use with                            
     SAS V8 or higher.  This file may work with earlier versions of                                 
     SAS, although it has not been tested with those versions. Users who are                        
     unable to use this SAS transport file should instead convert the ASCII                         
     data file H135C.DAT to a SAS dataset as described in Section B.                           
                                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
B.     A Sample SAS Program for Converting the ASCII Data File to a Permanent                       
SAS Dataset                                                                                         
                                                                                                    
The complete SAS statements (INPUT and LABEL) included in Section D are                             
intended to save time for those users wishing to create a permanent SAS                             
dataset from the H135C.DAT ASCII data file.  These statements must be used                     
in combination with other SAS statements to create the appropriate SAS                              
program, as shown below.  To use the statements provided in Section D to                            
create a SAS program, you will need an ASCII text editor.  If you are using an                      
interactive form of SAS (Windows, UNIX, OS2, etc.), use the editor provided as                      
part of the SAS software.                                                                           
                                                                                                    
Following is a sample SAS program that will convert the ASCII data file to SAS                      
format:                                                                                             
                                                                                                    
     LIBNAME PUFLIB 'C:\MEPS\SASDATA';                                                              
     FILENAME IN1 'C:\MEPS\DOWNLOAD\H135C.DAT';                                                
                                                                                                    
     DATA PUFLIB.H135C;                                                                        
     INFILE IN1 LRECL=217;                                                                     
     INPUT .....; * to user: insert the complete INPUT statement that is                            
provided in Section D;                                                                              
     LABEL .....; * to user: insert the complete LABEL statement that is                            
provided in Section D;                                                                              
     RUN;                                                                                           
                                                                                                    
Here is an explanation of the SAS statements used in the program above.                             
                                                                                                    
LIBNAME statement: This tells SAS the location (directory name) of the                              
permanent SAS dataset.                                                                              
                                                                                                    
FILENAME statement: This tells SAS the location of the input ASCII data file.                       
                                                                                                    
DATA statement: This signifies the beginning of a SAS DATA step and specifies                       
the output SAS dataset, referencing the LIBNAME entry (PUFLIB) and assigning                        
an internal SAS dataset name (H135C).  In the example, after the successful                    
completion of the DATA step, a PC file named H135C.SAS7BDAT would have                         
been created in the C:\MEPS\SASDATA directory.                                                      
                                                                                                    
INFILE statement: This tells SAS the location (directory and file name) of the                      
input ASCII data file.  Also provided is the logical record length (217                        
bytes), with the default of RECFM=V implied when this parameter is omitted.                         
LRECL and RECFM are optional parameters in the INFILE statement.  With regard                       
to these options, please note the following: the ASCII data file H135C.DAT                     
contains a 2-byte carriage return/line feed at the end of each record.  When                        
converting to a PC-SAS file, the LRECL option should be used to specify the                         
record length to avoid use of a default record length by PC-SAS.  If the                            
RECFM=V option is used, the LRECL option must be specified as the logical                           
record length (e.g., 217 for H135C.DAT).  If RECFM=F is used, then the                    
LRECL value must  be specified as the logical record length plus 2 (219 for            
H135C.DAT).  Note that if the RECFM option is omitted, then the default                        
option of RECFM=V is automatically used, and LRECL should be specified as the                       
logical record (217 for H135C.DAT).                                                       
                                                                                                    
INPUT statement: This specifies the input record layout, giving names and the                       
beginning and ending column positions for data items (which become SAS                              
variables) in the ASCII data file (H135C.DAT).  Variable type (numeric or                      
character) is also defined via the INPUT statement.                                                 
                                                                                                    
LABEL statement: This associates descriptive names with the SAS variables.                          
                                                                                                    
RUN statement: This tells SAS to execute all commands up to this point.                             
                                                                                                    
See Section A.1 above for tips on retrieving and storing the permanent SAS                          
data files.                                                                                         
                                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
C.     Optional Format-related SAS Statements                                                       
                                                                                                    
If a user wants to use formats for the SAS variables, a SAS format library                          
must first be created.  Below is a SAS program that will accomplish this:

     PROC FORMAT LIBRARY=PUFLIB;                                                                    
     VALUE .....; * to user: insert the complete set of VALUE statements found                      
in Section D;                                                                                       
     VALUE .....;

     RUN;

LIBNAME statement: This tells SAS the location (directory name) of the SAS                          
format library.  Please note that SAS datasets (file name extension is                              
'SAS7BDAT' for SAS V8 or higher and 'SD2' for SAS V6) and format libraries                          
(file name extension is 'SAS7BCAT' for SAS V8 or higher and 'SC2' for SAS                           
V6) can be stored under the same directory.

PROC FORMAT statement: This identifies the SAS procedure that will make SAS                         
formats according to VALUE statements.  Formats will be stored in a file named                      
FORMATS.SAS7BCAT.  Please note that the option 'LIBRARY=...' can be omitted                         
if the user does not want to create a permanent SAS format library. When simply                     
'PROC FORMAT;' is used, the formats are defined only for the duration of the                        
batch SAS program or an interactive SAS session.                                                    
                                                                                                    
VALUE statement: This gives a) names to formats; and b) descriptive labels for                      
individual values, or range of values.  The format names can then be invoked                        
using a FORMAT statement if desired.                                                                
                                                                                                    
PROC FREQ statement: This identifies the SAS procedure that generates                               
frequency distributions of variables specified in the TABLES statement,                             
formatted if a FORMAT statement is used.  The input SAS dataset is specified                        
in the 'DATA=' option.                                                                              
                                                                                                    
FORMAT statement: This associates existing formats with variables.  When using                      
this statement, the formats must have already been created with a PROC FORMAT                       
procedure.

NOTES:                                                                                              
                                                                                                    
     1)  Use of formats is entirely optional, and depends on the types                              
     of analyses that you are doing.  It is recommended that you create                             
     and use them as appropriate.                                                                   
                                                                                                    
     2)  The names used in the LIBNAME and FILENAME statements shown                                
     above (i.e., PUFLIB, IN1) are arbitrary; they are only temporary                               
     aliases.                                                                                       
                                                                                                    
     3)  You only create the permanent SAS dataset once.  Additional                                
     analyses can be run using this permanent dataset.                                              
                                                                                                    
     4)  The file and directory specifications in the LIBNAME and                                   
     FILENAME statements are Windows syntax and may need to be modified                             
     for other operating systems such as UNIX, MAC/OS, VMS, or OS/2.                                
                                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
D.  SAS Statements                                                                                  
                                                                                                    
This section contains SAS INPUT, LABEL, FORMAT, and VALUE statements for use in                     
converting the ASCII H135C.DAT file into a SAS dataset, and for creating
