New Paper: "Coming to SAS from SPSS" »
Programmers who want to move from SPSS to SAS now have a great resource to help them make that transition. Written by Lora Delwiche and Susan Slaughter, this paper focuses on topics of special interest to SPSS programmers. The authors discuss differences in terminology, show how to move SPSS data files into SAS, and give examples illustrating reports and analyses of likely interest to SPSS users. After reading "Coming to SAS from SPSS," users will wish they had made the change sooner!

New SAS 9.2 Documentation

Check out the updated SAS 9.2 documentation that is now available on the SAS Product Documentation site.

SAS Integration Technologies has several new documents, including a developer's guide for SAS stored processes. For customers upgrading their SAS 9.1.3 enterprise system to SAS 9.2, there are several new deployment and migration documents.

Use the Product Index to look for your alphabetically listed product documentation or you can search by concept or task using the enhanced SAS 9.2 Documentation categories.
