SAS Component Language (SCL) Application

Introduction to the SAS Component Language (SCL) Application

The SAS Component Language (SCL) application that is presented in this appendix, when used with the FSEDIT procedure or the FSEDIT command, implements an order-processing and inventory-maintenance system. Because the purpose of this example is to illustrate SCL programming techniques, some error-handling and user-friendly enhancements were omitted to keep the example as clear as possible.

This example exploits the features of SAS/SHARE that allow several users to update a SAS data set at the same time. That capability automates maintenance of the inventory data and allows data about the orders to be maintained centrally, which can facilitate analysis of the orders that have been received.
