The action from our Dec. 2017 SAS Data Management JamWe’ll be jamming again on the SAS Data Management Community on Feb. 13, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. ET. We hope you’ll join us! “Wait, how do I do that?” … you’re thinking. A few ways: For starters, you can simply watch the SAS Data Management Community discussion for new questions and answers that are posted within the hour. You can join in by asking your own question, or answering one in your area of expertise. It’s a “live” conversation right here on the community that you can take in or join in. What will SAS be doing? Several SAS Data Management experts will huddle in a conference room and on the phone to get busy on all things community. We’ll answer incoming questions and dig up older ones that need attention – just like we did back in Dec. All to make the community even more helpful and easier for you to get the answers you need. Looking forward to our Jam on Feb. 13! ... View more
