Additional Documentation for SAS/OR Software

In addition to SAS/OR User’s Guide: Local Search Optimization, you might find the following documents helpful when using SAS/OR software:

SAS/OR User’s Guide: Bill of Material Processing

provides documentation for the BOM procedure and all bill of material postprocessing SAS macros. The BOM procedure and SAS macros provide the ability to generate different reports and to perform several transactions to maintain and update bills of material.

SAS/OR User’s Guide: Constraint Programming

provides documentation for the constraint programming procedure in SAS/OR software. This book serves as the primary documentation for the CLP procedure.

SAS/OR User’s Guide: Mathematical Programming

provides documentation for the mathematical programming procedures in SAS/OR software. This book serves as the primary documentation for the OPTLP, OPTMILP, OPTMODEL, and OPTQP procedures, the various solvers called by the OPTMODEL procedure, and the MPS-format SAS data set specification.

SAS/OR User’s Guide: Mathematical Programming Legacy Procedures

provides documentation for the older mathematical programming procedures in SAS/OR software. This book serves as the primary documentation for the INTPOINT, LP, NETFLOW, and NLP procedures. Guidelines are also provided on migrating from these older procedures to the newer OPTMODEL family of procedures.

SAS/OR User’s Guide: Project Management

provides documentation for the project management procedures in SAS/OR software. This book serves as the primary documentation for the CPM, DTREE, GANTT, NETDRAW, and PM procedures, the earned value management macros, the Microsoft Project conversion macros, and the PROJMAN application.

SAS/OR Software: Project Management Examples, Version 6

contains a series of examples that illustrate how to use SAS/OR software to manage projects. Each chapter contains a complete project management scenario and describes how to use PROC GANTT, PROC CPM, and PROC NETDRAW, in addition to other reporting and graphing procedures in the SAS System, to perform the necessary project management tasks.

SAS Simulation Studio: User’s Guide

provides documentation for using SAS Simulation Studio, a graphical application for creating and working with discrete-event simulation models. This book describes in detail how to build and run simulation models and how to interact with SAS software for analysis and with JMP software for experimental design and analysis.
