SAS Programming for Enterprise Guide Users (SAS Press)
"SAS Enterprise Guide is the de facto tool for business analysts who wish to rapidly exploit information from their data with SAS. Neil's book is an essential accompaniment for business users wishing to take SAS Enterprise Guide beyond the point-and-click. The capabilities of the SAS language are vast, yet this book masterfully takes the reader on a journey from editing SAS Enterprise Guide generated code, through numerous practical examples, into the powerful world of reusability with macros. Along the way Neil concisely explains not just t he how, but the why--putting into context what might otherwise seem like complex components of SAS programming." --David Shannon, Technical Director, Amadeus Software"As more and more people are introduced to SAS through SAS Enterprise Guide, rather than the traditional programming route, there is a growing need to help these users fully understand and employ the full power of the SAS programming language. SAS Programming for Enterprise Guide Users fills this gap admirably. This book helps SAS Enterprise Guide users to understand the code behind task objects and how to expand them beyond the options that SAS Enterprise Guide provides." --Richard F. Pless, Director, Data Operations,ICON Clinical Research"The shotgun blast of coding knowledge provided may be intimidating to people who are unused to raw code, but with the author's clear understanding of SAS code and its use in SAS Enterprise Guide, there is no need for fear. His explanations show the steps to be followed, and he points out the cause and effect of changing default SAS Enterprise Guide behavior. He also provides great advice on how to avoid the  gotchas." --Britta K. August, Business Intelligence Developer, CareSource Management Group ,
