Can someone pls tell me a good book to start with? I have searched the net for valuable inputs and it shows two books- one by Art Carpenter and another by Michele M. Burlew. Out of the two, which one is best suited for a very beginner like me? I am into clinical field, and would like to know if there is any other source that is particularly useful for me.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks<BR /> Cathy Mon, 24 Dec 2007 05:13:01 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Health-and-Life-Sciences/Re-Macro/m-p/6021#M544 deleted_user 2007-12-24T05:13:01Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Health-and-Life-Sciences/Re-Macro/m-p/6022#M545 I suggest looking up the papers, especially Hands On Workshops from the SAS conferences on the support.sas.com website.<BR /> <BR /> The workshops should include worked examples of creating a macro to resolve a particular problem.<BR /> <BR /> I also favour the Technical Support note area on the SAS website.
