Use this field to specify numeric continuous variables with which to construct principal components.

Caution: Specifying a very large number of variables can prohibitively increase execution time.

To Specify One or More Continuous Variables:

8

Specify the Input SAS Data Set.

All of the variables in the specified input data set are displayed in the Available Variables field.

8

Examine the list of available variables.

8
