4.4 YEARCUTOFF:
Year cutoff is used to resolve conflict raised for selecting country due to two digits used in year
Default year cutoff is 1920 and it considers 100 year means from 1920 to 2019.
You might consider including a statement such as the following in each of your programs in case the
version of SAS you are using changed the default value of this option:
Optionsyearcutoff=1920;
4.5 Difference between function and call routine?
SAS function always returns a single value and the arguments do not change their value when function is
executed. But call routine can be used to retrieve more than one value and argument used in a call
routine can change their value.
Functions can be used in an assignment statement but call routine cannot.
