RolandRB, I do not know what Rob's answer is, but I think the difference
can be stated thusly:

SAS programs probe your data, while medical devices probe your person:-)

Best of luck to everybody in their SAS endeavors... and Have a great
weekend!

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
