SAS Studio is a development
application for SAS that you access through your web browser. With
SAS Studio, you can access your data files, libraries, and existing
programs, and you can write new programs. You can also use the predefined
tasks in SAS Studio to generate SAS code. When you run a program or
task, SAS Studio connects to a SAS server to process the SAS code.
The SAS server can be a hosted server in a cloud environment, a server
in your local environment, or a copy of SAS on your local machine.
After the code is processed, the results are returned to SAS Studio
in your browser.
SAS Studio supports
multiple web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple
Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.
In addition to writing
and running your own SAS programs, you can use the predefined tasks
that are included with SAS Studio to analyze your data. The tasks
are based on SAS System procedures and provide access to some of the
most commonly used graph and analytical procedures. You can also use
the default task template to write your own tasks.
