Overview

The Editor is a full-featured SAS® source code editor that offers a variety of advanced code-handling capabilities. The Editor provides SAS® language-aware syntax highlighting—a feature that makes source code and log files easy to read and understand.  Moreover, when using the execute feature, warnings and errors come back highlighted within the log files.  Other features—including line numbering, tree views of program blocks, code templates, break-point execution and more—all work together to make the Editor a powerful SAS® programming tool.
