Extensibility of the Application

The GAGE application was not designed for any particular industry or company. Because many companies have their own techniques and guidelines for gage studies, the application is designed so that you can tailor it to suit your needs.

The interface to the GAGE application was implemented using FRAME entries in SAS/AF software and the SAS Screen Control Language (SCL). The FRAME entries and SCL source code are available in the gage catalog. FRAME entries provide a flexible environment for building graphical user interfaces. SCL is a programming language that enhances the capabilities of SAS/FSP software and SAS/AF software, including FRAME entries.

For further information on FRAME entries and SCL, refer to SAS Component Language: Reference and to SAS Screen Control Language: Reference.
