Thanks for this link. I was not aware of WPS. We will seriously take a look at this product.
Although R is an excellent alternative as David Boyes suggested, it is so only from a statistical analysis point of view. When it comes to data management and manipulation, it is not really a good alternative to SAS. Perhaps the availability of WPS for Linux on System z will be a motivation for SAS to provide the same offering.

WPS is very well regarded - in fact, MXG creator Barry Merrill endorses it. http://www.teamwpc.co.uk/products/wps/platforms/zlinux > Neale > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit > http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For more information on Linux on System z, visit > http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
