Course Materials

Students attend Live Web classes using a Web browser and a telephone and interact with their instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Each student receives an e-mail with instructions on how to join the class three business days before the class begins. The instructions e-mail includes a link to download the course materials. Students need to download and print the course materials prior to class.

System Requirements

For Live Web, you must

review and follow the general system requirements.
complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
run this test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will need the following software installed and configured in your environment to participate in the course exercises:
- Base SAS 9.1 under a Windows operating system.
  Important:
  - If you are running Base SAS 8.2 under a Windows operating system, you can also participate in this class. However, please be aware that some tagsets demonstrated in this class are only available in SAS 9. Also, be aware that the syntax for XMLMap and the TEMPLATE procedure were enhanced in SAS. This course covers the SAS 9 syntax only.
  - If you are using Enterprise Guide rather than writing SAS programs in the Enhanced Editor, this class is not an appropriate offering.
