Abstract
- Sometimes the simplest SAS<superscript>®</superscript> task can become unnecessarily complex. Often the complexity of SAS<superscript>®</superscript>, itself, is the cause. Crucial details are easily hidden among the thousands of pages of SAS<superscript>®</superscript> documentation, technical notes, release updates, etc. The authors demonstrate a collection of SAS<superscript>®</superscript> features and techniques that are not well known, somewhat counterintuitive or undocumented, but all are surprisingly useful once learned and mastered. Mysterious SAS<superscript>®</superscript> behavior that might have inspired ‘work-arounds’ should now become transparent. Topics include environment settings; system options; and operators, functions and statements from SAS Language<superscript>®</superscript>, Macro Language<superscript>®</superscript>, SCL<superscript>®</superscript> and SAS/Graph<superscript>®</superscript>. The authors intend, through this selective review of uncommon techniques, to inspire a general interest in leveraging the power and maximizing the efficiency of programming tools.
