Writing code, organizing output, managing datasets--all these things and more go into development of a successful application. SAS provides a wonderful environment to develop code, but there are times when the Enhanced Editor or SAS Explorer just isn’t enough to develop your application in the most efficient manner.
This paper presents some tips and tricks for simplifying development tasks. Some are user-written macros to aid in code development, data management, and process tracking. Some are little known or little used SAS tools.
The goal of the paper is not intended to go into line-by-line detail on all these tips, but to inspire you to think of ways to improve your own processes. I feel kind of cheated if I make it through a whole project without acquiring a new utility macro to add to my toolbox. I hope this paper leaves you looking at your work in the same way. Besides, I’ll send you the source code for all the examples so you can play with them and learn on your own!
