Routine SAS Low-Level I/O Programming

Application developers working in SAS who want to fine-tune their file handling will benefit from this book, which presents the SAS functions and accompanying programming logic for reading and writing files. SAS’s low-level I/O functions work with both SAS data sets and text files, giving programmers detailed control over parameter files, output documents, and everything in between.
