SAS (Statistical Analysis System) provides tools for statistical analysis, data management, and report writing. A SAS job is divided into DATA and PROC (PROCedure) steps. In DATA steps you describe your data to SAS and create any variables you need. In PROC steps you tell SAS to perform specific analyses on your data. You can execute a SAS program under VMS using BATCH.
