For additional SAS resources, visit support.sas.com/publishing. Introduction This introductory chapter looks at what SAS is and how SAS Enterprise Guide fits into the overall SAS product set. It then explores with a few examples some of the effects that can be achieved by adding small amounts of code to SAS Enterprise Guide tasks. This book assumes a good working knowledge of SAS Enterprise Guide and familiarity with basic SAS concepts such as tables, libraries, naming standards, SAS formats, and SAS functions. An extremely good introduction to SAS Enterprise Guide is The Little SAS Book for Enterprise Guide 4.2 by Susan Slaughter and Lora Delwiche. Alternatively, you can use the built-in SAS Enterprise Guide Help Tutorial, SAS training, or SAS Enterprise Guide online documentation at support.sas.com/eguide to review any areas you are not familiar with. This book does not assume any prior knowledge of SAS coding. A Brief History of SAS Let’s look first at what we mean when we talk about SAS. SAS: A Complete Programming Language The name “SAS” is used to refer to SAS the company, the core products offered by the company, and the underlying programming language that lets all the SAS products do their work.

  • SAS Institute
    SAS Institute Ellen Bankert, Mary Dean Lee, and Candice Lange The Wharton Work/Life Roundtable People find it hard to believe that working at SAS Institute, Inc., a North Carolina-based software company, is for real. Jim Goodnight, the founder and chief executive officer, has carefully crafted a community of employees who seem literally to live the good life at work. From the outset, he envisioned establishing a company that would be a fun place to work, with a stimulating environment that would encourage creativity and with extensive on-site resources so people could be productive. That description, though, could fit any number of companies. The difference at SAS Institute is that Goodnight saw — and went — much further. He decided to demonstrate in word and deed that his company truly cares about its employees. His guiding standard for decisionmaking is how he himself would like to be treated. In a quiet corner of North Carolina, there’s a place that contradicts most of the assumptions of modern business. In an era of relentless pressure, this place is an oasis of calm. In an age of frantic competition, this place is methodical and clearheaded. In a world of free agency, signing bonuses, and stock options, this is a place where loyalty matters more than money. This kingdom, a secluded realm west of Raleigh, is home to an all-but-unknown group of software wizards whose output touches every aspect of life — from what medicines get developed to who gets a mortgage. Although this company is thoroughly modern, … there is something fairy –tale-like about the place.

  • Using Google Earth to Access and Display Emissions Data
    Using Google Earth to Access and Display Emissions Data David Mintz U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 [email protected] ABSTRACT If you have used Google Earth™ to look at your neighbor's backyard or fly though the Grand Canyon, then you're ready for this paper. The EPA's Emissions Inventory and Analysis Group is building linkages to emissions data. If you can navigate Google Earth, you will soon be able to access and display emissions data quite easily. This paper provides some background regarding Google Earth's Keyhole Markup Language (KML). It also describes how SAS® is used to access and display data within the Google Earth application. INTRODUCTION In the world of data analysis there are many powerful tools. SAS is one of those tools. SAS/IntrNet® software, in particular, allows users to get results based on selected parameters. In the world of spatial analysis, there are many powerful tools. Google Earth is one of those tools. This paper explores how merging SAS and Google Earth results in a very powerful, yet very simple, application. BODY Setting the Stage Before discussing the “nuts and bolts” of how this application works, I’d like to emphasize that the end user needs only one software package – a licensed copy of Google Earth. The data connectivity happens “behind the scenes” and is completely transparent to the end user. It is part of the simplicity of this application. For it to work, however, a developer must do a little work in advance to set up this process.
