SAS/SCL will be the best choice for backend operations - verify OS
paths exist, verify all parameter are present, verify dependent
parameters are within scope, create the appropriate macro variable for
each data entry element.

SAS/AF is fantastic for data collection. SAS docs and manuals are
basically "SAS/AF for Dummies" there is no demonstration of the more
powerful features available since 2004. If you have fat-client AF is
your best choice.

SAS/IntrNet is the better choice for internet-based apps, but that
gets more complex with javascript etc. This is where you also need to
know HTML and the SAS/IntrNet server.

%Windows is only for the most simple needs where minimal backend work
is needed.
