Which statement is used to output results to a new dataset in SAS?

The OUTPUT statement is used in SAS to control the output of data to a new dataset during data processing. When combined with a DATA step, the OUTPUT statement allows you to explicitly specify which observations should be written to the designated output dataset. This is particularly useful when you are modifying data or creating different subsets of data from an existing dataset.

In practice, you might use the OUTPUT statement in scenarios where you want to generate multiple datasets from a single DATA step or when you want to conditionally save observations based on certain criteria. For instance, you can write specific records to one dataset and based on different conditions, write other records to another dataset, all from the same DATA step.

This flexibility in managing output datasets makes the OUTPUT statement a fundamental component in data manipulation within SAS programming.
