NOTE: Latest SAS-Related Periodicals (plus IN in macro)

The last few weeks have seen a couple of SAS-related periodicals published:

• Issue 51 of VIEWS News is available. As ever, the archive of back-issues is a valuable resource
• System Seminar Consultants released the autumn 2010 issue of The Missing Semicolon.

I was particularly interested to read in Views News that Amadeus offer some video podcasts:

• Using the Macro IN Operator
  
• Using Proc SCAPROC to Analyse the Inputs and Outputs of SAS Programs
• Controlling SAS System Options with GETOPTION
• Improving Performance with the SASFILE Statement

I watched Ann White's Using the Macro IN Operator and was introduced to the ability to use the IN operator in macro by specifying OPTIONS MINOPERATOR. It was nicely paced and very clearly presented. Recommended.
