SAS programming is done using the SAS language. This is a proprietary language that is unique to SAS software but does share some similarities with some other English-like programming languages. Also SAS includes an implementation of another language - SQL.

If you're on Viya you can use SAS, SQL, R or Python.

Hello
For somebody new to SAS it would be good if SAS is used for programming,
If the user has a knowledge of SQL that can be also be used but as a subset of SAS Proc SQL.
