Summary: Code Clinic is a chance to ask any SAS questions

Peter,

I would suggest that you not only print the programs, but have them on
floppy, cd, or thumb drive.  If you can bring sample data that also
can help.  You will find many friends at the clinic just waiting for
your questions.

If your questions are programming type questions most of the people
can probably be some help.  If they are of a more statistical nature
the early Wednesday morning looks like the best choice.

OK, I have a question about the code clinic.

I've inherited a lot of programs. The person who wrote the code was
very bright, but literally crazy (like, he's locked up now type crazy)
and was fond of writing Rube Goldberg-esque code. He did comment quite
a bit, but even with that, I am sometimes at a loss to figure why he
did what he did, whether it's a sensible method, and so on.

So, my question is, what does code clinic handle? If I bring in
program(s) with only a vague notion of what they are doing, can you
clinicians tell me?

Seems a lot to ask.....

Peter
