Validate SAS code

dwygonow — Tue, 30 May 2017 15:11:28 GMT

Hello;
I am new to SAS. I am looking to validate some SAS code, to see if the syntax and all is correct. How can I do this? Please advise.

Thank you.

The simplest method is to actually run the code and see what errors and warnings appear in the SASLOG.

I take it this needs to be done in the SAS editor? How can I get a copy of the download for the SAS editor?

Thanx

Your best choice is to download SAS Unversity Edition.

It will provide you with a fully working SAS software for your personal use.

Good luck,

Ahmed

Do note the restrictions with SAS UE. It can be used for learning purposes and basically almost anything that's non-commercial. If you're work is commercial related you need to purchase a SAS license.
