Programming: Beyond the Basics
Papers within this section address a broad spectrum of advanced SASŪ Foundation topics, including ODS, macro, and sophisticated, efficient DATA step and PROC step programming. The focus is on the not-so-obvious backgrounds of certain concepts within SAS and on solutions for many day-to-day tasks. Featured topics include: advanced ODS management for top-quality reporting, such as the effective use output data sets; optimizing SAS interactions with Microsoft Office and making the most of inheritance in style templates; stored processes - including running them on a smart phone or to generate Flash objects; and clever analytic applications, such as the generation of tag clouds with SAS or using the "hash of hashes" for understanding health care claims.
Our speakers are accomplished presenters with extensive experience in explaining the workings of SAS. The objective of these tutorial-style presentations is to provide a deeper, practical understanding of key SAS features that can make the attendee a more efficient, valuable SAS programmer.
