SAS Developers Exploit the Portability of SAS/C

SAS exploits the robust features of the SAS/C Compiler and library to deliver critical networking and security components of the SAS System. Networking components of the SAS System which exploit the SAS/C Compiler and library include SAS/CONNECT , SAS/Share and SAS/Secure. This family of SAS products allows organizations to share data, tools and applications effectively and efficiently across the enterprise.

Arthur Hunt, senior systems developer at SAS states: "The portability of the compiler and library allow us to develop applications which support multiple hosts and networks under a single development environment. We use the SAS/C cross-compiler under Unix and Windows/NT to build and port our applications to OS/390. This shields our development staff, responsible for portable code, from the subtleties and complexities related to S/390 environments. This results in reduced code changes tailored for a specific host and faster delivery of software."
