Student Lab, Weir 107, and several other labs
around campus
 We will look at a few short examples of SAS &
SAS/EG
General Information
 SAS performs statistical analysis
 SPSS also performs statistical analysis
and is similar to SAS
 Mathematica’s main function is to perform
mathematical operations including
statistics
 Matlab is similar to Mathematica
General Information
 IT staff will assist users to access these
packages
 We also assist users to find the proper
procedure to analyze their data. If you

Enterprise Guide (EG) is a Front-End Program
for SAS
Available to those who have SAS
While running EG, SAS will run in the
background
EG builds tasks, while SAS runs them
EG accepts various formats, e.g. *.xls
Programming is done by “Point and Click” and
“Drag and Drop”
Access to much of SAS procs
Creating and running a few examples


data test;
ods html file="c:\Users\ccsam\sas\odsreg3.htm";
input a b c;
cards;

;
proc print;
proc means; run;
ods html close;
 Let us run this program and look at its output
Generating HTML Without EG
 Open SAS and import corr748re_html.sas
 Run corr748re_html.sas
 Look at the 3 lines creating output delivery
system (ODS)
 Look at the output created by corr748re…
 Let us look at test_html.sas program
Generating HTML Without EG
 Let us look at the second example on how to produce
HTML output using SAS only
 Run html_sas.sas program
 Save the output as SASoutput.mht
 Close sas, open SASoutput.mht and print
SASoutput.mht
 Please note “ods” stands for Output Delivery System
Running Enterprise Guide 4


Clicking sheet1->open, then choose option
one, “Select this option if… view the file”
Running Enterprise Guide 4
(Cont.)
 From the File menu choose describe->
