ACCESSING & MANIPULATING DATA

Accessing data quickly and easily from many different sources is one of the strengths of SAS. Through the many programming courses that SAS Education Service offers, you learn to access data from database management systems (DBMS), flat files, operating-system-specific file structures, or other software products. You also learn to use DATA step statements, functions, macro language, and the SQL procedure to transform and manipulate your data. Many of the courses recommended in this path provide prerequisite knowledge for courses in subsequent paths.
