SAS Component Language

SAS Component Language (formerly called Screen Control Language) is the programming language that controls SAS/AF and SAS/EIS applications. SAS Component Language (SCL) programs are stored in separate SCL entries that can be accessed by more than one FRAME entry. This means that an SCL program can be written once and used many times.

In addition to supporting all of the functionality of Version 6 Screen Control Language, SCL provides complete object-oriented programming constructs for creating entire object-oriented applications in SCL and for creating and scripting objects with the SAS Component Object Model (SCOM).

For more information on SCOM, see Object-Oriented Development and the SAS Component Object Model. For more information on SCL, see SAS Component Language: Reference.
