DCSUG Presents: SAS ® PROGRAM EFFICIENCY FOR BEGINNERS
Bruce Gilsen presents simple efficiency techniques that can benefit SAS users at all levels of experience. Applications or data sets for which efficiency techniques are presented include the following:
- Read long records from a flat file and keep selected records.
- Subset a SAS data set to create a new data set or use in a SAS Procedure.
- Test multiple conditions with IN, OR, or AND operators.
- Read a SAS data set when you need only a few of many variables.
- Concatenate two SAS data sets.
- Execute a DATA step when no output SAS data set is needed.
- Speed up processing by not dividing by zero.
