LEARN TO PROGRAM SAS BY EXAMPLE! _Learning SAS by Example, A
Programmer’s Guide, Second Edition_, teaches SAS programming from
very basic concepts to more advanced topics. Because most programmers
prefer examples rather than reference-type syntax, this book uses
short examples to explain each topic. The second edition has brought
this classic book on SAS programming up to the latest SAS version,
with new chapters that cover topics such as PROC SGPLOT and Perl
regular expressions. This book belongs on the shelf (or e-book reader)
of anyone who programs in SAS, from those with little programming
experience who want to learn SAS to intermediate and even advanced SAS
programmers who want to learn new techniques or identify new ways to
accomplish existing tasks. In an instructive and conversational tone,
author Ron Cody clearly explains each programming technique and then
illustrates it with one or more real-life examples, followed by a
detailed description of how the program works. The text is divided
into four major sections: Getting Started, DATA Step Processing,
Presenting and Summarizing Your Data, and Advanced Topics. Subjects
addressed include
* Reading data from external sources
* Learning details of DATA step programming
* Subsetting and combining SAS data sets
* Understanding SAS functions and working with arrays
* Creating reports with PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATE
* Getting started with the SAS macro language
* Leveraging PROC SQL
* Generating high-quality graphics
* Using advanced features of user-defined formats and informats
* Restructuring SAS data sets
* Working with multiple observations per subject
* Getting started with Perl regular expressions
You can test your knowledge and hone your skills by solving the
problems at the end of each chapter.
