• Question 184:

  Given a data set with the following characteristics:

  50000 observations 200 character variables

  In the text below, enter the compression option that will provide the most compression Case is ignored and standard SAS syntax rules apply.

  Correct Answer: CHAR

  The YES or CHAR setting for the COMPRESS= option uses the RLE compression algorithm. RLE compresses observations by reducing repeated consecutive characters (including blanks) to two-byte or three-byte representations. Therefore, RLE is most often useful for character data that contains repeated blanks. The YES or CHAR setting is also good for compressing numeric data in which most of the values are zero
