NOTE: SAS 9.2 Procedures by Name and Product

I came across a list of SAS procedures by name and by product the other day. It was very useful to me at the time and I thought I'd pass it on...

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/allprodsproc/63875/HTML/default/viewer.htm#/documentation/cdl/en/allprodsproc/63875/HTML/default/a003178332.htm

I was trying to establish which SAS programmers used which products. Most programmers can tell you what PROCs they use, but they don't know what products these PROCs belong to. Hence my pleasure at finding the nice PROC/product look-up! I was able to get programmers send me a list of PROCs typed into spreadsheets, and I was able to read the web page into a SAS data set, and could then do cross-references between my data set and their spreadsheets (read into SAS of course!).
