In my recent review of a client’s SAS/Base jobs’ suitability for EG visual coding, I wasn’t surprised to come across some jobs that created new tables each month where the table names included the date. The table names were of the form MASTER.SALES_201…
Having recently marked the 70th anniversary of the start of World War II’s Battle of Britain, my interest was piqued by a book sub-titled “Project Lessons from Winston Churchill and Battle of Britain”. The idea of viewing World War II as a project surp…
