2. Purpose To take a copy of your transmitted ICR curriculum and extension files and convert them into SAS datasets and Excel spreadsheets. The SAS datasets can then be used with the canned SAS programs to generate analyses in Excel spreadsheets. The Excel spreadsheets can be used with other applications such as SPSS to generate the same and additional useful analyses.

3. SAS Steps  Create a folder in the root of C: named ICRWORK (C:\ICRWORK)  Save your curriculum ICR file as C_ICR_yyyytt where yyyy is the reporting year and tt is the 2 digit reporting term.  Save your extension ICR file as E_ICR_yyyytt where yyyy is the reporting year and tt is the 2 digit reporting term.

4. SAS Steps - continued  Open - ICR_CurriculumDatasetCreation_CCPRO_20080225.SAS  Change the “%LET yt00=“ variable to the same yyyytt as your file name where yyyy is the reporting year and tt is the 2 digit reporting term.  Single click the SAS “Submit” button.  Your SAS dataset and Excel spreadsheet are now created and saved to your C:\ICRWORK folder.  You are now ready to run some SAS analyses using the SAS dataset OR other application analyses using an application such as SPSS on your curriculum ICR file.
