Synopsis

A compact reference book for SAS programmers, this book covers the features of the SAS language with syntax and descriptions, and with examples of some of the most important or potentially confusing features. This edition is updated for Release 8.2 and Version 9. It includes host-specific features for Microsoft Windows, OS/390, and UNIX, with indications of which releases and operating systems support each feature. It is logically organized to let you look up information quickly as you write or read SAS programs. The book starts with a very brief introduction to SAS programming.
