SAS Enterprise Guide is a project-oriented application
that is designed to enable quick access to much of the analytic power
of SAS software for statisticians, business analysts, and SAS programmers.
SAS Enterprise Guide provides the following functionality:
-
a point-and-click user interface
to SAS servers
-
transparent data access to both
SAS data and other types of data
-
interactive task windows that lead
you through dozens of analytical and reporting tasks
-
a program editor with autocomplete
and integrated syntax help
-
the ability to use the highest
quality SAS graphics
-
the ability to export results to
other Windows applications and the Web
-
the ability to schedule your project
to run at a later time
SAS Enterprise Guide also
enables you to create SAS Stored Processes and to store that code
in a repository that is available to a SAS Stored Process Server.
(Stored processes are SAS programs that are stored on a server and
are executed by client applications.) Stored processes are used for
Web reporting and analytics, among other things.
For more information,
see the SAS Enterprise Guide Help, which is available from within
the product. For information about administrative tasks associated
