On-Demand Webinar

Tips for debugging your base and macro code

Tools and Techniques for diagnosing problems in code

 

About the webinar

The SAS language is straightforward, but complex problems can still result in complex code

Sometimes programmers have to work out why code doesn't behave as expected.

These logic errors can be tricky to find as unlike syntax errors or execution errors, there won't be any errors or warnings in the SAS log

What you'll learn:

  • How to use the data step debugger in SAS enterprise Guide and in foundation SAS to see code execution line by line
  • How to use options in SAS macro language to understand its behavior
  • How to use the code versioning features in SAS Enterprise Guide to track changes in code
