Question 21:- Create a column ‘percentage’ using the variables :

Tot_New_Bal1012 and Credit_Lim1012. The answer should be a percentage value libname test `/home/my_name/`; data acct1; set test.FIN_ACCOUNT; percentage=Tot_New_Bal1012/

Credit_Lim1012; run;

libname test `/home/my_name/`; data acct1; set test.FIN_ACCOUNT; percentage=100*(Tot_New_Bal1012/

Credit_Lim1012); run;
