If anyone want to be a GOOD sas programmer, this paper is a must-read.

A SAS® Programmer's View of the SAS Supervisor  ---- Ian Whitlock

Though it was wroten in 1980's, it explains how SAS data step works crystal clear.

BTW -- Ian Whitlock is a SAS guru worldwide. Unfortunately he never wrote a SAS book.

Here is the link.

Abstract:
This tutorial answers questions like:
· As a DATA step programmer, what do I need to know about the SAS supervisor and why?
· How does the SAS supervisor process DATA step code?
· How does a SAS MERGE work?
· What about engines, indexing, and views?
· What happens when my DATA step code contains macro variables?
· What if my DATA step invokes a macro or is contained in a macro?

Thank you. Supposed to be a good paper, particularly considering most SAS papers are in low quality.
Making clear how the code works is much more important than knowing what the code is.

BTW -- Ian Whitlock is a SAS guru worldwide. Unfortunately he never wrote a SAS book.

When reading his article, I got the reason: He doesn't have the potential being a writer even though he may know something about SAS. He is not organized and articulate in English or language.
Hence he was just exaggerated as a 'guru'. So my 1 point is not for the article you referred but for what you have done for helping others out.

What do you mean "He is not organized and articulate in English or language"?

He is an American. He used SAS langauge in his entire professional career life. He used to deliver a speech in each and every SUGI(SAS USER GROUP INTERNATIONAL) meeting.
