SAS Macro Programming Made Easy 2nd ed.

Need help understanding the SAS macro facility? You will find all the

answers that you need in this easy-to-follow book! Michele Burlew puts

her decades of macro programming experience to work for you as she

guides you through the basics, as well as the more complex features of

the SAS macro facility. Updated extensively for SAS 9, this book

includes plenty of examples and step-by-step instructions. You will

learn the elements of the macro facility (macro variables, macro

programs, macro language), how to write a macro program, macro

programming techniques, tips on using the macro facility, how the macro

facility fits into SAS, and about the interfaces between the macro

facility and other components of SAS. New topics for the second edition

include using SAS 9 macro and SAS language features, debugging macro

programs, adding error checking to macro programs, and building a

library of utility macro programs. Beginning macro programmers will

learn to write SAS macro programs quickly and efficiently. More

experienced macro programmers will find this book useful to refresh

their conceptual knowledge and expand on their macro programming skills.

It is also important to note that the macro facility is a highly popular

part of SAS and found in the job requirements for many SAS programming

jobs. In addition, macro facility concepts are tested on the SAS

Advanced Programming Exam. The book assumes some SAS programming

experience, including knowledge of how to write a DATA step and how to

use SAS procedures.
