The new IMLPlus language extends the IML language available with SAS/IML software. SAS/IML provides a powerful and flexible matrix programming language in a dynamic, interactive environment for programmers, statisticians, and researchers.
You can apply SAS/IML software to problems ranging from simple matrix manipulations to estimation techniques and linear programming to nonlinear optimization. An extensive set of mathematical and matrix operators make the possibilities endless.
SAS/IML software is a complete programming language. You can construct programs using control structures such as conditional and iterative statements, and access a wide range of built-in subroutines to make your programming even more efficient. You can transfer data to and from SAS data sets and external files with data management commands.
