Product Description:
Carpenter s Complete Guide to the SAS(R) REPORT Procedure is written in Art s own friendly and comfortable style, reminiscent of his major works on the topic of the SAS(R) macro language. Topics and features are introduced on a schedule that echoes how one might actually need to learn them to get the job done. Manuals don t do that. They have their purpose as reference tools and they are certainly available when needed, but they are not typically productivity oriented. Art s book is. This book would make a welcome addition to the bookshelves of any serious SAS programmer. I wish I had written it. --Ray Pass, Ph.D., Ray Pass Consulting
I am green with envy for the newest generation of SAS programmers because I wish that I had had this book in front of me 20 years ago when I first started with SAS! Art s book gives a perspective on the REPORT procedure as no other user has done before by ingeniously intertwining his extensive knowledge of PROC REPORT with the experiences and unique approaches of over 100 PROC REPORT power users. His simple approach will give even the most novice SAS user the necessary tools to get started with PROC REPORT, and his nicely flowing buildup to PROC REPORT s more complex usability makes this book a jewel for the entire SAS community. Art s PROC REPORT book has, without a doubt, given all SAS users THE POWER TO KNOW(R)! --Rick Mitchell, Senior Systems Analyst, Westat
This is the single best resource for PROC REPORT. I am a huge fan of improving my SAS skills through users group conferences, which is how I first learned PROC REPORT. The CD of conference papers on this topic is an additional bonus to this book. --Kim LeBouton, Independent Consultant, KJL Computing, SUGI 31 Conference Chair
