Advanced Programming in SAS

DescriptionThis program brings students to the other level for those skilled with Programming necessary in SAS. On the completion of this course you will show the upper tier of SAS programmer with good level of ability in SAS programming expertise & will be more required job after in the worldwide job market.
A SAS latest programmer should be trained in works likeHow to write & interpreting SAS SQL codeHow to create & use the SAS MACRO facilityHow to use latest DATA step programming statement & efficiency methods to solve Intricate issuesBefore admitting for this course, you must have completed the Programming Essentials in SAS [SLP101] or have equivalent knowledge. Specifically, you should be able to
