Which ODS statement is used to create a comma-separated values (CSV) file from a SAS data set?

The ODS CSVALL statement is designed specifically for exporting SAS data sets to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format. This format is widely used for data interchange between various applications because it allows for easy import and export of data, particularly in spreadsheet tools.

When using ODS CSVALL, the resulting CSV file includes not only the data from the SAS data set but also the variable attributes and labels, which can be useful for documentation and clarity when the data is used elsewhere. This functionality makes it an ideal choice for users looking to create comprehensive CSV exports directly from their SAS environments.

The other options do not serve this purpose. The ODS CSV statement, while similar, does not include the variable attributes, making it less suitable for comprehensive data exports. The ODS OUTPUT statement is used for directing the results of procedures to a SAS data set rather than exporting them to a file format. ODS LISTING is used to control the output of the Listing destination, which is typically for creating reports in SAS rather than exporting data. Hence, ODS CSVALL is the most appropriate choice for creating a full-featured CSV file from a SAS data set.
