PROC Report manual issue

We can get two different introduction for PROC Report execution.
One is from SAS manual while the other from Carpenter’s Complete Guide to the SAS® REPORT Procedure.

Actually, I perfer the latter.
SAS manual give out confusing infor. And it is not reader-friendly.

3rd party SAS Application

It seems that SAS does not support the 3rd party SAS application actively.

Currently, I know only 3 apps that are on top of SAS:
#1:
Merrill (MXG)
http://www.mxg.com/

#2:
CA (MICS)
MICS Resource Management (MICS) is an application written in the language of SAS, developed and distributed by CA.

#3:
Futrix
Futrix is a SAS® data exploitation and querying tool designed by business users for business users.

No 5 in levels of analytics

SAScom give out an interesting paper "Eight levels of analytics" at http://www.sas.com/news/sascom/2008q4/column_8levels.html

I should located at #5 level (statistical analysis). I want to step upwards.
However, It is very difficult to improve myself if there is no project experience. :(

First post

Hi,

It will be helpful to track some interesting news, good idea, SAS tips, etc.

Basically, the blog should be for SAS, because I am a BIG SAS fun. :)
