+/************************************************************************************************
+ EXAMPLE - SELECT IN DATA STEP
+     This program illustrates how to use the SELECT statement in a data step to assign values to a given variable
+          based on values of another variable or expression. This is usually more understandable than IF...THEN...ELSE
+		  constructs, especially when assigning many values. SELECT is similar to a CASE statement in a PROC SQL query.
+     Keywords: DATA STEP, CALCULATED COLUMNS
+     SAS Versions: SAS 9, SAS Viya

+      1. Create a new dataset named CARS_ORIG_COUNTRY in the WORK library.
+      2. Read the existing SASHELP.CARS dataset, but KEEP only the MAKE, MODEL, and ORIGIN variables.
+      3. Create a variable named ORIGIN_COUNTRY as a character variable with a length of 25.
+      4. SELECT the value of the MAKE variable as each observation is processed in the PROGRAM DATA VECTOR (PDV).
+      5. Assign a value to the ORIGIN_COUNTRY variable based on the current value of MAKE, Japan and Acura in this case.
+	       Values are contained in quotation marks (single quotes in this example) since both variables are of type character.
+      6. Use OTHERWISE to assign a missing value to ORIGIN_COUNTRY for cases when the value of MAKE is not specified in
+	       the SELECT statement.
+      7. END specifies the end of the SELECT values.
+	  8. RENAME the ORIGIN variable to ORIGIN_REGION for clarity between the 2 ORIGIN... variables in the resulting dataset.
