SAS
Enterprise Guide is a thin-client Windows application that provides
a point-and-click desktop interface to SAS (9.2 or later) and can
be used to connect to various server platforms, including UNIX,
z/OS,
and Windows. It communicates with SAS to access data, perform analysis,
and generate results (such as graphics, PDF files, and HTML files).
From SAS Enterprise Guide you can access and analyze many types of
data, such as SAS data sets, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and third-party
databases. You can either use a set of task dialog boxes or write
your own SAS code to perform your analysis. The application helps
users to produce results easily, regardless of their SAS knowledge.
SAS Enterprise Guide
uses a distributed computing model of network servers that enable
users to access data on multiple platforms quickly and easily.
