S.N - Statement Type & Description

Decision making structures in programming specify conditions to be evaluated, along with statements to execute if conditions are true or false. SAS provides several types of decision making statements including: IF statements which execute data fetching if a condition is true, IF-THEN-ELSE statements which execute a block if false after IF is evaluated, IF-THEN-ELSE-IF statements which allow additional IF-THEN blocks if preceding conditions are false, and IF-THEN-DELETE statements which delete data if a condition is true.
