This course teaches you how to use the IML procedure via the programming language. You will benefit from this course if you plan to use SAS/IML for matrix manipulations or if you plan to use it to implement statistical, econometric, or operations research methods.
Learn how to
- explicitly assign values to a new matrix
- create a matrix from a SAS data set and create a data set from a matrix
- control which rows and columns are read from (or written to) a data set
- use matrix operators and functions in assignment statements
- use IML commands to control the programming environment
- use subscript operators to summarize and subset matrices
- use iterative and conditional processing to control program flow
- write, store, and retrieve IML modules
Who should attend
SAS programmers, statisticians, econometricians, engineers, or others who manipulate data using matrix operators and matrix algebra

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 and SAS/IML software, Release 9.2 or 9.1.3 on a Windows operating system
