HOT Tips from SAS-L One way to improve your SAS skills is to spend some time with SAS-L. If you are already a SAS-L participant, you know that it is a wonderful resource. If you have never heard of SAS-L, this presentation will give you a brief introduction and then use a number of recent postings to demonstrate why it is worth at least an occasional look. Have you ever used two SET statements to read the same data set twice within one data step? Have you have ever used the same data set name twice within a SET statement (the wonders of the self-interleave)? Have you ever used the MOD function to help populate the elements of an array? Ever use CALL EXECUTE or a data step hash object? You probably have used a DO loop, but what about a DOW loop? If you are saying to yourself that you've gotten along fine without any of the above, perhaps a look at how all of the above (and more) have been used to solve problems posed on SAS-L will convince you that SAS-L is well worth a look.
