BASE SAS
SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is software developed for business intelligence,
management of data and for analytics. Base SAS is integrated software developed for data
access, transform and reporting. It is ready to use programs for statistics and writing of reports,
data manipulation, information storage and maintenance.

COURSE CONTENT
OVERVIEW OF BASE SAS
ACCESSING DATA USING SQL
● Generate detail reports by working with a single table, joining tables, or using set operators in
the SQL procedure.
● Generate summary reports by working with a single table, joining tables, or using set
operators in the SQL procedure.
● Construct sub-queries and in-line views within an SQL procedure step.

5. ● Compare solving a problem using the SQL procedure versus using traditional SAS
programming techniques.
● Access Dictionary Tables using the SQL procedure.
MACRO PROCESSING
● Create and use user-defined and automatic macro variables within the SAS Macro Language.
● Automate programs by defining and calling macros using the SAS Macro Language.
● Understand the use of macro functions.
● Use various system options that are available for macro debugging and displaying values of
user-defined and automatic macro variables in the SAS log.
● Create data-driven programs using SAS Macro Language.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES
● Demonstrate the use of advanced data look-up techniques such as array processing, hash
objects, formats, and combining/merging data.
● Reduce I/O by controlling the space required to store SAS data sets using compression
techniques, length statements, or eliminating variables and observations.
● Reduce programming time by developing reusable SAS programs which incorporate data step
views, DATA steps that write SAS programs, and the FCMP procedure.
● Perform effective benchmarking by using the appropriate SAS System options and
interpreting the resulting resource utilization statistics.
● Determine the resources used by the SORT procedure and avoid unnecessary sorts by using
appropriate indexes, data set options, BY statement options, and the CLASS statement.
● Identify appropriate applications for using indexes and create them using the DATA step, the
DATASETS procedure, or the SQL procedure.
● Compare techniques to eliminate duplicate data using the DATA step, the SORT procedure,
and the SQL procedure.
