SAS Micro Analytic Service and SAS Foundation

Although DS2 is supported by both SAS Foundation and SAS Micro Analytic Service, SAS Micro Analytic Service has a lightweight, high-performance engine that does not support either the full SAS language or PROC statements. Therefore, PROC statements cannot be used. However, here is an effective DS2 authoring and testing mechanism: develop your DS2 packages in SAS Foundation using PROC DS2 and publish those packages to SAS Micro Analytic Service after removing the surrounding PROC DS2 syntax.
