Given the data step provided, what values are stored in the output data set?

In a typical SAS data step, the output data set is created by reading in data, processing it, and then writing it out. If the step provided includes valid input data assigning values to variables, such as "Name" being assigned "John" and "Age" being assigned "35", then the correct interpretation of the expected output would reflect these values as they are stored in the output data set.

In this case, if the data step explicitly includes a complete input of "John" for Name and "35" for Age, the result will neatly translate into a record in the output data set displaying these values. Thus, the output would show both the Name and Age fields populated correctly as specified, leading to the conclusion that Name would be “John” and Age would be “35”.

Other choices allude to scenarios where either the values might be missing, indicating a potential issue in the data processing (such as an absence of value assignments), or an outright failure of the data step due to errors. However, if the values were assigned correctly and no errors present in the step, this will not manifest as missing or erroneous outputs. Thus, the stored values of Name as "John" and Age as "35" represent the valid output for
