ST 610N -- Fall 2006 
     HOMEWORK 5 
   DUE THURSDAY, 02 November 2006 

   EXERCISE 

      In the directory nc2006 are several files of data at the
      county level from official North Carolina websites.  
      See the main links to understand the nature of the data;
      use the comma- or tab-delimited files to read the data.
      Make a permanent SAS dataset from the one of these datasets
       -- and use your logonid to name it.  Which dataset?  Take
      your student id modulo 9 and add 1 to get a number from
      1 to 9 -- choose that file.

      Liberal use of labels and formats is encouraged.

      Make sure you run a PROC to check it out as well as
      a PROC CONTENTS.

      No need to submit anything -- just put the file in the
      class directory.

      Before you make the permanent SAS dataset, make sure
      that everything works with a temporary dataset (the
      usual route).  You can either create the file in the
      SICL lab (or elsewhere on campus) and put it in the 
      class directory, or running under windows from your home
      pc and copy it to the class directory -- either should work.
