To get the most out of this book
You will need access to a version of SAS. If you do not have access to a SAS server environment or PC SAS, you can use the free version of SAS, called SAS University Edition (available here: https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/university-edition/download-software.html). SAS University Edition is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. All code examples have been tested using SAS University Edition in Windows, but they should work on any version of SAS.
Example data curation files in this book were developed using Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. These files can be developed in the same or comparable software.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying/pasting of code.
