With the Western Users of SAS Software 2013 conference coming soon, I am looking forward to being part of three presentations. One of those presentations is Writing Code in SAS Enterprise Guide This is based on a paper written several years ago for SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1. That paper became obsolete almost immediately. So I’ve […]

Susan’s Life Lesson No. 2
You have a right to ask for what you want. You may not get it, but you have a right to ask. My son took a summer job with the understanding that he would work 20 hours/week. This would allow him to enroll in summer school at the same time. At first everything went fine. […]
Werken Met SAS
One thing that impressed me about SAS Global Forum 2013 was the number of international attendees–28 percent! While SGF (and it’s predecessor SUGI) always claimed to be the worldwide SAS conference, only recently has this actually become true.

The two books are totally different–and complementary. So […]
Debugging at SGF

Fortunately for us, there are a lot fewer species of SAS bugs. SAS bugs can […]
Three Things I Learned As a SAS LUG Leader
I recently had the privilege of speaking at a meeting of the Toronto Area SAS Society. It was a great meeting, and, honestly, I’m not saying this just because I was one of the speakers. TASS is the best run local user group I have seen. They have found the right balance of SAS Institute […]
