SAS/IML Workshop

Overview

SAS/IML Workshop is a graphical user interface and extension of SAS/IML software that enables you to explore data interactively using standard statistical graphics and tables. IML Workshop provides an integrated development environment for writing, debugging, and executing IML programs. IML Workshop also implements the IMLPlus programming language, which is an enhanced version of the IML programming language. IMLPlus provides new language features such as the ability to call SAS procedures and external C/Fortran/Java functions. IML Workshop requires a PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system.

IML Workshop retains the power of the IML programming language with its built-in matrix operators and automatic memory allocation. At the same time, IML Workshop provides an enhanced programming environment. The Program window provides color-coding of the IMLPlus language and automatically positions the cursor when a program error occurs. The Output window is editable, supports the Cut/Copy/Paste commands, and can be saved in Rich Text Format (RTF). The Error Log window is linked to the Program window and enables you to jump to the location of any error. With IML Workshop, you can create statistical graphics using either IMLPlus programs or menus.

IML Workshop is multithreaded, thus enabling you to work on one IMLPlus program while another is executing. You can also execute multiple IMLPlus programs simultaneously.
