From the Back Cover
Develop and fine-tune your programming skills the easy way — by example! SAS Programming by Example guides you, with a series of annotated examples, through basic tasks to more complex ones. Problems and solutions are provided to make the most of the programming tools available in base SAS software. Conversational in tone, and cleverly organized, this book is useful both as a tutorial for learning programming and as a convenient quick-reference for solving programming problems. Among the clearly explained examples are models that show you how to
- build SAS data sets
- use SAS functions for data translation
- program more efficiently
- relate information from multiple sources
- chart and plot data.
