SAS
provides a graphical user interface that makes SAS easier to use.
Collectively, all the windows in SAS are called the SAS windowing
environment.
The SAS windowing environment
contains the windows that you use to create SAS programs, but you
also find other windows that enable you to manipulate data or change
your SAS settings without writing a single line of code.
You might find the SAS
windowing environment a convenient alternative to writing a SAS program
when you want to work with a SAS data set, or control some aspect
of your SAS session.
