Converting Plots from SAS/GRAPH to ODS Graphics
Abstract: All the documentation about the creation of graphs with SAS software states that ODS Graphics is not intended to replace SAS/GRAPH. However, ODS Graphics is included in the Base SAS licence from SAS 9.3, but SAS/GRAPH still requires an additional component licence, so there is definitely a financial incentive to convert to ODS Graphics. This presentation gives examples that can be used to replace commonly created SAS/GRAPH plots, and highlights the small number of plots that are still very difficult, or impossible, to create in ODS Graphics.

Title. Building a Muscular Vocabulary in SAS® functions
Author. Mamadou Dakouo
Abstract
SAS® has over 456 functions, which help in analyzing and processing data. SAS® functions can be used in both DATA and PROC step programming statements, in macro language statements, and in Structured Query Language (SQL). SAS® functions perform a computation or manipulation and return a value. Those functions are classified as character functions (over 95), date and time functions (over 35), descriptive statistics (over 31), probability functions (over 18), macro functions (over 39), special functions (over 24), etc. Functions such as CAT, CATQ, CATS, CATT, CATX or TRANSTRN, TRANSLATE, TRANWRD, or INTCK and INTNX, just to name a few, are close but still have small but important difference between them. Recognizing the nuances that set these functions apart is a distinct advantage and should greatly help increase proficiency as a SAS® user. This presentation will help with building a muscular vocabulary utilizing SAS® functions and assist in identifying which of those best suit your needs.
