I'm assuming since you're on the SAS forum, you want the software system of SAS?

Or are you genuinely asking which language to use to create a pie chart. Or asking if you should use SAS Studio, EG, or something else entirely?

Since a pie chart is a graphic, I'll move this to the graphics forum.

Assuming the question is "how to create a pie chart using SAS" here's the answer to that question:

Unfortunately, I think Pie charts are still covered under SAS/Graph and you can see several examples of the graphs and code required here:

You can click the links to see the graphic and the code.

In addition to the SAS/GRAPH GCHART procedure, you can also use the ODS Graphics Graph Template Language to create a pie chart. Using Robert's data:

proc template;
   define statgraph mypiechart;
      begingraph;
         entrytitle "My Pie Chart";
         layout region;
            piechart category=department response=admissions / dataskin=gloss;
         endlayout;
      endgraph;
   end;
run;

ods graphics on / reset imagename="mypiechart";
proc sgrender data=my_data template=mypiechart;
run;

For more information, see PIECHART Statement in SAS^® 9.4 Graph Template Language: Reference, Fifth Edition.
