Dear SAS User,
One of our favorite things to do at SSC is to talk to SAS users about how they can leverage SAS software for increased functionality and productivity. The newest way that we are doing this is with our new monthly Lunch and Learn Sessions. Our first session was a resounding success, with several hundred attendees. If you missed it, you can view it here. Our next session will be on Principles of Good System Design on August 16th.
Not only are we holding public Lunch and Learn sessions, but we can also offer complimentary, private sessions for your organization. If you are local, we can do it onsite, or we can do it is a web session. We have dozens of topics that you can choose from. This is a great way to get free SAS training for your group. If you are interested, please email me directly, and we can set up your own free session.
Thanks for Reading!
Jennifer First
Director of Operations

Dear Miss SASsy:
Dear Miss SASsy,
I frequently upload spreadsheets from MS Excel. I use a SAS program to format, transform the data as needed, and map the data to a flat file.The first few rows contain text column headings. The column headings are useful but cause format errors during the INPUT statement. I can read the input, omit heading rows, and write data rows to a TEMP file; then read in the TEMP file with list input and formatted variables. Is there a better way? Can it be done with a single pass of the input file? The spreadsheets can be very large, pushing Excel to the limit.
Kevin F.

Automating Projects
When we do project work, especially when doing conversions, we are often doing the same operation over and over again. Quite often these tasks are done manually and take a lot of time and resources. But these repetitive tasks can typically be automated.
