PROC DOCUMENT by Example Using SAS demonstrates the practical uses of the DOCUMENT procedure, a part of the Output Delivery System, in SAS 9.3. Michael Tuchman explains how to work with PROC DOCUMENT, which is designed to store your SAS procedure output for replay at a later time without having to rerun your original SAS code. You’ll learn how to: save a collection of procedure output, descriptive text, and supporting graphs that can be replayed as a single unit save output once and distribute that same output in a variety of ODS formats such as HTML, CSV, and PDF create custom reports by comparing output from the same procedure run at different points in time create a table of contents for your output modify the appearance of both textual and graphical ODS output even if the original data is no longer available or easily accessible manage your tabular and graphical output by using descriptive labels, titles, and footnotes rearrange the original order of output in a procedure to suit your needs After using this book, you’ll be able to quickly and easily create libraries of professional-looking output that are accessible at any time. This book is part of the SAS Press program.

Learn to program SAS by example! Learning SAS by Example, A Programmer’s Guide, Second Edition, teaches SAS programming from very basic concepts to more advanced topics. Because most programmers prefer examples rather than reference-type syntax, this book uses short examples to explain each topic. The second edition has brought this classic book on SAS programming up to the latest SAS version, with new chapters that cover topics such as PROC SGPLOT and Perl regular expressions. This book belongs on the shelf (or e-book reader) of anyone who programs in SAS, from those with little programming experience who want to learn SAS to intermediate and even advanced SAS programmers who want to learn new techniques or identify new ways to accomplish existing tasks. In an instructive and conversational tone, author Ron Cody clearly explains each programming technique and then illustrates it with one or more real-life examples, followed by a detailed description of how the program works. The text is divided into four major sections: Getting Started, DATA Step Processing, Presenting and Summarizing Your Data, and Advanced Topics. Subjects addressed include Reading data from external sources Learning details of DATA step programming Subsetting and combining SAS data sets Understanding SAS functions and working with arrays Creating reports with PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATE Getting started with the SAS macro language Leveraging PROC SQL Generating high-quality graphics Using advanced features of user-defined formats and informats Restructuring SAS data sets Working with multiple observations per subject Getting started with Perl regular expressions You can test your knowledge and hone your skills by solving the problems at the end of each chapter.

Whether you work in banking/finance, pharmaceuticals, the health and life sciences, or government, this unique book is intended for programmers of all skill levels and will help you harness all the power and capability of PROC REPORT. --

PROC REPORT by Example: Techniques for Building Professional Reports Using SAS provides real-world examples using PROC REPORT to create a wide variety of professional reports. Written from the point of view of the programmer who produces the reports, this book explains and illustrates creative techniques used to achieve the desired results. Each chapter focuses on a different concrete example, shows an image of the final report, and then takes you through the process of creating that report. You will be able to break each report down to find out how it was produced, including any data manipulation you have to do. The book clarifies solutions to common, everyday programming challenges and typical daily tasks that programmers encounter. For example: obtaining desired report formats using style templates supplied by SAS and PROC TEMPLATE, PROC REPORT STYLE options, and COMPUTE block features employing different usage options (DISPLAY, ORDER, GROUP, ANALYSIS, COMPUTED) to create a variety of detail and summary reports using BREAK statements and COMPUTE blocks to summarize and report key findings producing reports in various Output Delivery System (ODS) destinations including RTF, PDF, XML, TAGSETS.RTF embedding images in a report and combining graphical and tabular data with SAS 9.2 and beyond Applicable to SAS users from all disciplines, the real-life scenarios will help elevate your reporting skills learned from other books to the next level. With PROC REPORT by Example: Techniques for Building Professional Reports Using SAS, what seemed complex will become a matter of practice. This book is part of the SAS Press program.
