Ever spent valuable time writing complex code only to later find a function that would have done the job for you? Discover the plethora of practical SAS functions that you haven’t seen in other SAS programming courses, and start resolving your everyday programming problems more quickly and efficiently. You will learn how to magically manipulate character data with ease, using PERL Regular Expression (PRX) and other amazing character functions, dominate datetime, date, and time values with the previously perplexing Date Interval functions, save programming time and reduce programmer frustration with array functions, easily compute descriptive statistics, including how to use the new SMALLEST and LARGEST functions, use mathematical and special functions to streamline your code, generate random numbers with ease, and manipulate the values in various variables with the new CALL SORTN and CALL SORTC routines. This is a hands-on workshop.
