Develop and fine-tune your programming skills the easy way--by example! For beginning or intermediate users, this book serves as a guide, using a series of annotated examples, through basic tasks to more complex ones. Problems and solutions are provided to help you make the most of the programming tools available in Base SAS software. Conversational in tone, the book is useful both as a tutorial for learning programming and as a convenient quick-reference filled with tips and strategies for solving your 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, and chart and plot data. You will also learn to work with SAS date values, produce descriptive and summary statistics, and write reports.
