Ah, Dick. Dignus does not produce a SAS language replacement. It does have a very fine replacement for IBM's and SAS's C compiler and IBM's HLASM. But that is not the product under discussion. SAS Institute was founded upon the SAS language. This is a very powerful data language (which I think is so tightly copyrighted/patented/???? that even trying to make a similar language will result in a lawsuit) with associated "procedures". IIRC, SAS originally targetted this for statistics and stood for Statistical Analysis System (but that was long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far way) -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
