Product Description
Product Description
Now in its fourth edition, The Little SAS Book is a classic, helping many people learn SAS programming. Authors Lora Delwiche and Susan Slaughter's friendly, easy-to-read writing style gently introduces readers to the most commonly used features of the SAS language. Topics include basic SAS concepts such as the DATA and PROC steps, inputting data, modifying and combining data sets, summarizing data, producing reports, and debugging SAS programs.
Each topic is presented in a self-contained two-page layout complete with examples and graphics. This clear and concise format enables new users to get up and running quickly, while the examples allow readers to type in the program and see it work!
New topics in the fourth edition include ODS Graphics for statistical procedures, PROC SGPLOT for graphics, creating new variables in PROC REPORT with a COMPUTE block, WHERE= data set option, SORTSEQ=LINGUISTIC option in PROC SORT, and more functions, including ANYALPHA, CAT, PROPCASE, and YRDIF.

Format:Perfect Paperback
Quite extensive for SAS beginners; it is helpful but it was missing some info that i would have liked to have
Format:Perfect Paperback
Having previously had access to the second edition, I decided to buy this updated edition as my own copy as I really do see this book as my SAS bible. This is the reference book that I use all the time, and go to first for any SAS programming queries. Highly recommend!

I've had previous editions of this popular book and I call it my "bible".
When starting out learning SAS, this was my first book I turned to and in many situations it provided the answer. Now, I use it to provide a one-stop help guide for the team with many finding it to enable them to educate themselves in SAS.
This is a must for anyone wanting a self-help guide to SAS when you need it or managers looking for a team resource to enable staff members to help themselves.
