     DATA steps typically create or modify SAS data sets, but they can also be used
    to produce custom-designed reports. For example, you can use DATA steps to

    ◦ put your data into a SAS data set


    ◦ compute the values for new variables
    ◦ check for and correct errors in your data
    ◦ produce new SAS data sets by sub-setting, merging, and updating existing data sets.

     PROC (procedure) steps typically analyze and process data in the form of a SAS
    data set, and they sometimes create SAS data sets that contain the results of the
    procedure. PROC steps control a library of prewritten routines (procedures) that
    perform tasks on SAS data sets, such as listing, sorting, and summarizing data.
    For example, you can use PROC steps to
    ◦ print a report
    ◦ produce descriptive statistics
    ◦ create a tabular report
    ◦ produce plots and charts.
