SAS: Starting a New Project

Every project in SAS starts with data entry and is very important in determining the accuracy of the results. Due to the primitive nature of SAS, students must follow proper procedure when entering data directly into SAS. It is recommended that students focus and be attentive when entering data in an effort to preserve overall efficiency.
