SAS Corner

By Dr. Karl Ho, Research and Statistical Support Services Manager

Did you know?

• Did you know SAS version 9 is around the corner?

Yes, this new edition, first ushered in at the SUGI 27 (April, 02 in Orlando), will have new features focusing on further consolidation of Output Delivery System (ODS), implementation of XML and new enhancements of SAS/Graph. For a peek of the new v.9, check: http://sas.com/rnd/base/index-v9-resources.html

• Did you know you can get a temporary Setinit (a license authorization code) from SAS to deal with an emergency situation?  

Yes, all you need to do is submit a profile including name, email, country and organization to SAS and create an account. The limitation is the license will last for six days only. That will be good enough, though, for you to contact us to get a school setinit for you. Visit: http://www.sas.com/getsetnow 

• Did you know that you can get the latest development of the software via email?

Like most software companies, SAS maintains mailing lists to disseminate company- or software-related news to customers. However, the Technology report SAS distributes is more than just commercials. It distributes articles on new procedures and applications and, in some cases, coding notes twice a month. To subscribe to the e-newsletter, visit: http://www.sas.com/subscriptions/enewsletter.htm

• Did you know they have a great collection of sample programs: http://sas.com/service/techsup/sample/sample_library.html

• Did you know you can find out much more information about SAS and other statistical packages/services by visiting the RSS Website? Have fun browsing.
