I’ve noticed that whenever I need a pwencoded password, it seems to coincide with me not having a SAS® coding interface readily available (DMS, SAS Enterprise Guide®, SAS Data Integration Studio etc.). On the other hand, I almost always…

Copy a file using a SAS program: another method
A couple of years ago I shared a method for copying any file within a SAS program. It was a simple approach, copying the file byte-by-byte from one fileref (SAS file reference) to another. My colleague Bruno Müller, a SAS trainer in Switzerland, has since provided a much more robust […]
How I Use SAS?
It’s pretty fun to read SAS/Graph expert Robert Allison’s note, Using SAS- A Case Study on his SAS programming environment, such as SAS version, OS, fileserver and editors. Here is my follow up: SAS Version I always want to keep pace with the latest SAS software; something I got it, sometime not. As of September […]
Confidence Intervals for Difference Between Independent Binomial Proportions: A SAS 9.4/STAT 12.3 Update
For the computing of confidence intervals for difference between two independent binomial proportions in SAS 9.4/STAT 12.3, it’s hard to figure out exactly how many methods are available because there is no “CL=ALL” trigger in RISKDIFF option (but you can get one in BIONOMIAL option to compute the confidence intervals for binomial proportion). As far […]
Confidence Intervals for Binomial Proportion: A SAS 9.4/STAT 12.3 Update
After getting the access to SAS 9.4 alone with SAS/STAT 12.3, I first took a look at my favorite SAS statistical procedure, PROF FREQ. Last year I had a note on confidence intervals for binomial proportion based on SAS 9.2/SAS9.3. Now it’s time to throw out some updates. 1. A new confidence limits method added, […]
SAS Tech Talk: What’s new in the SAS programming language?
In SAS 9.4, the SAS programming language continues add new features by the truckload. I’ve already discussed PROC DELETE (which is actually an old feature, but like an 80s hit song it’s now back with a better version). In this SAS Tech Talk video from SAS Global Forum 2013, I […]
Through the years: SAS Enterprise Guide versions
Last week Rick Wicklin posted a nifty chart that shows the timeline of SAS releases since Version 8. A few of you asked if I could post a similar chart for SAS Enterprise Guide. Here it is. Like Rick, I used new features in SAS 9.4 to produce this chart […]
SAS Enterprise Guide versions and SAS 9.4: what’s supported
With the release of SAS 9.4 (which included SAS/STAT 12.3 and SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1), you might seriously consider hiring a Chief Versions Officer (CVO). Fortunately, most of the recent versions of SAS Enterprise Guide work with the different recent versions of SAS, so you have some flexibility as you […]
