Overview

The Visualizer is a graphical, SAS® language-aware program flow and data flow analysis tool. The Visualizer reads, parses, and displays your source code files, representing each program and data block with an icon.  Arrows connect these icons to show program and data flows, making them simple to read and understand.  Tightly integrated with the Editor, the Visualizer lets you examine your source files interactively.  For example, while in the split view mode, a user is able to click on an icon to jump to the actual program code in the editor.  Similarly, changes made in the Editor (either in the split view mode or in the Editor mode) can be easily reflected in the Visualizer, as well.  By clicking on the "Refresh" icon refresh.gif (318 bytes) on the tool bar, the visualization instantly reflects the change made in the code.

Similar to the editor, the Visualizer will also use the same mechanism as the editor to scan the most recent execution log (if available) associated with the program being displayed and highlight the code segments associated with the suspect problematic areas.
