- convert a Base SAS DATA step to a DS2 DATA step
- create DS2 variable declarations, expressions, and methods for data conversion, manipulation, and conditional processing
- create user-defined packages and use predefined packages to store, share, and execute DS2 methods and extend the capabilities of the DD2 language
- create and execute DS2 threads for parallel processing
- leverage the SAS In-Database Code Accelerator to execute DS2 code outside of a SAS session
- execute DS2 code in the SAS High-Performance Analytics grid using the HPDS2 procedure.
