What Is the SAS Windowing Environment?
SAS provides a graphical user interface that makes SAS easier to use. Collectively, all the windows in SAS are called the SAS windowing environment. The SAS windowing environment contains the windows that you use to create SAS programs, but you will also find other windows that enable you to manipulate data or change your SAS settings without writing a single line of code. You might find the SAS windowing environment a convenient alternative to writing a SAS program when you want to work with a SAS data set, or control some aspect of your SAS session.
