PhilaSUG (Philadelphia Area SAS Users Group) is a non-profit professional organization whose primary purpose is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, increased knowledge of SAS® software, and professional advancement. Through the generous support of the SAS Institute [http://www.sas.com], PhilaSUG members enjoy once a year a speaker from SAS Institute, mailing of our newsletter and four books for door prizes. PhilaSUG also participates in the Speaker Exchange Program of the NorthEast SAS Users Group (NESUG [http://www.nesug.org]). These national and regional groups are able to bring us speakers from outside the Philadelphia area to speak on a variety of topics. In addition, speakers from our own area contribute their expertise, so PhilaSUG meetings always offer a stimulating mix of ideas.

PhilaSUG holds three meetings annually (see the calendar of events ) and provides a published newsletter to its members.

Pre-Conference Training SAS Macro Language Seminar In conjunction with our meeting on June 17, Mal Foley is offering in the morning a Pre-Conference SAS Software Training Seminar on the SAS Macro Language. Course Description This seminar will help you reap the many benefits of the SAS Macro Language, one of the most powerful tools available to the SAS programmer. It covers most of the elements of the Macro Language, including macro variables, constants, statements, expression, functions, and options. Via real-world examples, the seminar demonstrates how to use the macros to iterate code, to run code conditionally and to create your own functions. Furthermore, this course delves into the double dot, the double ampersand, the triple ampersand and other such hieroglyphics. The seminar starts with the basic concepts of the macro language and progresses to more advanced topics. At the end of the seminar, each participant should be able to use SAS Macro Language to increase their productivity, program integrity, and program maintainability. Additional information can be found on page 4 of the newsletter.
