    Access data files, libraries and existing programs – or write new ones – with this developmental web application accessible through your browser. With SAS Studio®, you can use predefined tasks to generate SAS code. When you run a program or task, the technology processes the SAS code on a SAS server, which can be a server in a cloud environment, in your local environment, or SAS installed on your local machine. After the code is processed, the results are returned to SAS Studio in your browser.
