• History of SAS
• SAS comes in ERP sector or not? Why?
• What is Clinical Research Study?
• What is SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)?
• What is DBMS?

GETTING STARTED WITH SAS SYSTEMS

• Managing windows in SAS window environment
• Why using the SAS in different sectors.
• How to use the data step to read and manipulate complex forms of data
• Write Data and Proc steps.
• Data step compile and execution
• Read any type of external raw data into SAS
• Reading raw data SAS environment into DATA SET using Input statement & advance INLIFE statement options
• Working with Data Storage in SAS libraries creation for user defined libraries and multi-engine architecture
• Reading data from data set to another data set.
• To manage the SAS window environment used with global options.
• To manage existing data with controlling statements and expressions
• Creating Summary Information, SAS Functions, Transforming Data
• Changing variable types using the PUT and INPUT functions summarizing data files
• To expert data from data sets to delimiter files using with data set block
• Understand error messages in the SAS Log and debug your program

PERFORM ITERATIVE PROCESSING ON DATA

• Using Do loops for repetitive calculations and processing
• Using Arrays to process across an observations and processing
• Using DO WHILE and DO UNTIL statements for conditional looping

UTILITIES TO MANAGE AND WORK WITH DATASETS

• Using the update statement to update data in existing dataset.
• Using the MODIFY statements to update and modify data in place
• Merging concepts
• Concatenation concept in merging
• Interleaving concept and merging
• Different kind of match merging using MERGE statement using the contribution (IN=) option in merge concept
• Using ODS concept to generate reports
• Role of ODS concepts to reporting SAS output
• To generate SAS output in different panels like RTF, HTML,PDF and XML Using ODS
