SAS programming interfaces

- [Instructor] Let's take a look at the programming tools we're going to use. SAS has several programming interfaces that you can use to interactively write and submit code. In this course, you'll use SAS Studio, a web-based interface that connects to SAS on a server. Because it runs in a web browser, there's no download and you can use it on any computer. SAS Studio includes the basics you need for programming, an Editor to write and submit code, a way to read messages related to the code you submit, this is called the Log in SAS, and a way to view the reports and data that your programs create. The program Editor in SAS Studio is smart about SAS code. It includes features such as code completion, formatting, and syntax coloring that make programming much easier. We'll start by showing you how to write and submit code in SAS Studio so you can see how easy it is to use.
