Summary |
To write an accomplished program in the DATA step of SAS(R), programmers must understand programming logic and know how to implement and even create their own programming algorithm. Handbook of SAS(R) DATA Step Programming shows readers how best to manage and manipulate data by using the DATA step. The book helps novices avoid common mistakes resulting from a lack of understanding fundamental and unique SAS programming concepts. It explains that learning syntax does not solve all problems; rather, a thorough comprehension of SAS processing is needed for successful programming. The author also. |
