Can I use SAS Learning Edition to learn SAS programming?
Yes. Although the Getting Started tutorial and book focus on the point-and-click features of SAS Enterprise Guide, you can use SAS Enterprise Guide to write, edit, and submit SAS programs. You can either import existing SAS code (sample code is provided with the product) and modify it, or write your own SAS programs in the easy-to-use, color-coded, syntax-checking Code Editor window. To access the Code Editor window, select Insert -> Code from the Insert menu and choose either the New or Existing tab, depending on whether you want to write your own code or modify existing code. In addition, you can read databases and perform data manipulation. Please keep in mind, however, that this product is for self-training, non-production use only. In addition, SAS Self-Paced e-Learning has numerous courses and lessons that you can take using SAS Learning Edition, including an entire SAS programming course.
