One for you SAS people

[Bagpuss]

If you have a Maths degree, you should have no problem with the Stats.
The level varies depending on industry. Basic stats should be enough for pharma / clin. trials

If you are tables and listings SAS programming you don't need much stats. If you are doing any stats you need degree level. Especially for Phase 1.

If you want to do programming get yourself on a proper SAS course. I can't over emphisize how good they are! Certification is increasingly popular and a must in the US market.
You can do one in Manchester.

I believe LE has a limitation on the number of records but otherwise is fully functional.

BTW Statistician, have you heard of the internet? I believe it is a good way to research simple questions regarding the availability of courses and functionality of software.

HTH

Yes I have heard of the Internet but I do not believe in everything that gets published on the Internet. I was looking for someone with first-hand knowledge of courses.
BTW, what is this place?
Is it built of brick and mortar?

In my opinion, macros can be written that can make the learning edition read more than 1000 records. You must be aware of this, being the guru of SAS.

If the restriction of uploading data from another source into a dataset is restricted to 1000 observations, then yes, you could in theory write a macro (loop) that uploaded data in chunks to get around this.

However, I was under the impression that the 1000 rows restriction applied to all datasets in SAS, so when it came to doing datastep processing, you would only be able to view the first 1000 observations of any dataset or indeed process the first 1000.

can anyone confirm?

Being the "guru of SAS", which is a tongue-in-cheek nom-de-plume anyway, why would I know anything about the "learning" edition? That would be for wannabees like you. Cheeky monkey.

I didn't even know there was a learning edition!

If I ever used it at home I just got a copy and turned the clock back when the licence ran out.

That, my friend, is what separates the masters from the amateurs
Also, there is, allegedly, so I've heard, a SAS crack floating around on the net. I wouldn't recommend going that route though.
