SAS Component Language: Reference

Introduction

SAS Component Language (SCL)(footnote 1) is a programming language that enables you to develop many different types of applications, from simple programs that accomplish a few tasks to sophisticated, interactive applications that use procedures available in other SAS software products. For example, you can use SCL with other SAS software to create data entry applications, to display tables and menus, and to generate and submit SAS source code. SAS/ASSIST software is an example of the powerful applications that you can build with SCL.

FOOTNOTE 1: In earlier releases of SAS software, SCL was called SAS Screen Control Language. Version 7 introduced several new features that enable you to design object-oriented applications. The new name, SAS Component Language, reflects the object-oriented capabilities of the new SCL.
