VAR data-set-variables(s);

Required Arguments

data-set-variable(s): specifies one or more variables for which ranks are computed.

Using the VAR Statement with the RANKS Statement

The VAR statement is required when you use the RANKS statement. Using these statements together creates the ranking variables named in the RANKS statement that correspond to the input variables specified in the VAR statement. If you omit the RANKS statement, the rank values replace the original values in the output data set.
