SAS language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SAS language is a data processing and statistical analysis
language created originally by the SAS Institute www.SAS.com .
The SAS language basically divides data processing and analysis into
two kinds of steps.
1) Data Steps - Which manipulate input.
2) Procedure Steps - Which manipulate output.The short form for each
procedure step is Proc
It has seperate sub components called the SAS Macro Language , and SAS
SQL steps.
The SAS Macro language is used for repeatable steps, and substitutes a
repeated word or variable with a suffix of "%".
The SAS SQL steps are simple combinations of Structured Query
Language ,SQL with suffix of PROC SQL.
SAS User Groups are User Groups of SAS Language ,some of them with and
some of them without active financial support of SAS Institute.
