sas programming in pharmaceutical industry 2nd edition book

Hello everyone

I m having a very simple question

I m reading now the book entitled : sas programming in pharmaceutical industry 2nd edition 2014

As everyone could guess since its released date 2014 SAS have welcome new features

My main issue is about coding some tasks (chap 5 creating clinical tables)

I was looking for any codes updates,

Excuse me it s hard for me to believe some tasks spanning over 3-4 pages, i dont know if today in the business a such coding would be efficient (for a single task) and there are many of the kind

I was looking for a code update but did not find

so any advices regarding clinical trial programming will be welcome ( specially recent publication not exceeding 3 years) I found only old stuff

Regards

Hello,

I guess you are looking into this book right now:

https://sasinstitute.redshelf.com/book/1878385

SAS Programming in the Pharmaceutical Industry, Second Edition 2nd Edition
Jack Shostak, 2014

That edition has been updated, however, for SAS 9.4 (early maintenance level probably).

If you are looking for a more recent book on clinical trials programming, see here:

https://support.sas.com/en/books.html

Use "clinical" as keyword for a search and you end up here:

Also do not forget to look in the SAS Global Forum Proceedings or other SAS conference proceedings.

There's an incredible amount of programming papers for pharmaceutical sector.

Good luck,

Koen
