Synopsis
With an installed base of more than one million users, SAS is the standard language for statistical computing on mainframe, VAX, and DOS systems. It reputation is grounded in non-graphical environments, but the SAS Institute recently broke new ground by releasing versions of their product for today's hottest GUI-based operating systems - including Windows, OS/2, Next, and UNIX. This is a comprehensive guide to creating SAS user interfaces for the industry's most popular graphical platforms. Rick Aster shows readers how to design and program easy-to-use interfaces for a variety of command line, windowing, macro language, and software development environments. Complete programs are included, as are a detailed tutorial on using the screen control language (SCL) and a chapter on compiling effective program documentation. A programming consultant with more than six years of SAS experience, Rick Aster has written several large-scale SAS programs for the state of New Jersey and many major banks. He is the co-author of Windcrest's "Professional SAS Programming Secrets".
