Accessibility Features of SAS/IML Studio

The user interface of SAS/IML Studio includes accessibility and compatibility features that improve the usability of the product for users with disabilities, with exceptions noted below. These features are related to accessibility standards for electronic information technology that were adopted by the U.S. Government under Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.

If you have questions or concerns about the accessibility of SAS products, send e-mail to accessibility@sas.com.

SAS/IML Studio supports Section 508 standards with the following exceptions:

• When you type data into a data table, the JAWS screen-reading software does not indicate which cell in the table contains the focus.

  As a partial workaround, you can access the data set in Base SAS software and create an accessible HTML version of the data table, which is viewable in a browser. A SAS Note that provides this code as a macro is available from SAS Technical Support.

• In the New Data Set dialog box, the labels of the Width and Decimal boxes are not read properly by JAWS screen-reading software.

You can view SAS/IML Studio in high-contrast mode. In high-contrast mode, text is displayed in a larger font and is usually represented by white text on a black background. High-contrast modes and themes are provided by the Microsoft Windows operating system for users who cannot easily see subtle differences in shade.

You can turn on high-contrast mode by completing the following steps:

1. Open the Control Panel by selecting Start Settings Control Panel.

2. Double-click Accessibility Options. The Accessibility Options dialog box appears.

3. Select the Display tab, and then select Use High Contrast.

4. Click OK to accept the high-contrast setting and close the Accessibility Options dialog box.
