Hi Kunal

Not that I understand anything about this method but just by spending
two minutes with Google (and there is more):

http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/da/bayesproc.html

Of course: You will need to have the appropriate SAS modules licensed
at your site (SAS/Stat for sure).
It's a bit nasty that SAS EG (the client) shows you SAS procedures
which might or might not be licensed on the SAS server - that's a SAS
marketing thing which I personally find rather ....

There is of course always the possibility to code everything in SAS
datasteps - but this might become too complicated for your purpouses
(as I said: I have no clue about this method).
