The PCA Procedure
CODE Statement
CODE <options>;
The CODE statement writes SAS DATA step code for computing the principal component scores either to a file, to a catalog entry, or to a CAS table. This code can then be included in a DATA step to score new data.
The CODE statement is not supported when you specify the PARTIAL statement. If you specify more than one CODE statement, only the first one specified is used.
Table 5 summarizes the options available in the CODE statement.
