5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 25 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Not perfect, but excellent. After looking at the reviews on Amazon, I decided to postpone buying this book. My mistake. The is the best book on the SAS language within one set of covers. It should not be your first introduction to SAS, but after you have your feet wet and decide to jump in all the way, it is a must have.

In any situation you find yourself programming in SAS, you will not use all SAS has to offer. Certainly if you plan to take the certificataion test you will need to know more and this is one of the aids you need. Rick, or Mr. Aster to me, uses English, real English, the way people think and talk, to descibe SAS computereze.

Yes, it's heavily technical, but most people once they start thinking in the technical language cannot weave in and out of regular English. Rick can.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing but not that bad, 3 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I agree with the previous reviewer on that this book is somewhat disappointing for professional SAS programmers - not very many "secrets" has been revealed actually. It didn't even explain clearly the key SAS programming concept of "Program Data Vector" while it claims to demonstrate how SAS engine works behind the scene. The new version is no much different from the old one but appending a SAS6.10 update list (like "what's new"). I suspect either the authors or the publisher or both didn't put much work on this new version - that's very un-professional! However, considering the sad fact that there's somehow few good SAS programming book out there, this classic one deserves some respect in SAS community. I read it 2 years ago and I found sometimes I still look it up as a reference on some topics - for the material it covers, it's rather solid.
