SAS Manuals and Online Documentation

Hardcopy SAS manuals (user s guides and reference) and electronic documentation have evolved over the years. In SAS 6 and earlier versions, SAS manuals were available only in hardcopy, and you had to use the SAS windowing environment for electronic help. With SAS 8, you can still get hardcopy manuals and you can use the SAS windowing environment to access help just as before. However, SAS also sells a CD-ROM called SAS OnlineDoc for SAS 8 that gives you the SAS manuals in HTML or PDF format. Finally, you can now get free SAS 8 documentation over the Internet in HTML format from SAS at http //support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/index.html. [Pg.297]

With the release of SAS 9, it is getting to the point where having a comprehensive set of hardcopy SAS manuals is difficult to afford in both monetary cost and physical storage space. The cost and size of SAS manuals have grown substantially. Also, each interim release of SAS now comes with a new set of documentation, so hardcopy versions of the manuals can rapidly get out of date. The SAS 9 manuals are provided by SAS Publishing on a print on demand basis, which means that SAS produces hardcopy SAS manuals as they are ordered, but once they have been ordered they are non-returnable and non-refundable. The good news is that the SAS manuals for SAS 9.0 and later versions can be found in HTML and PDF format online at [Pg.298]
