Hello,

The language reference manual, the procedures guides, the macro language, etc are all available from that link. Depending on just what you want to do, you'll probably want all of them (and possibly others).

Much is available via Base SAS.

Sudarsana,

One of the best resources I have found is the SAS publication
SAS Companion for the MVS Environment (second edition). SAS no longer publishes this but go to amazon.com and you can find a used copy for probably under twenty dollars (maybe less).

Best of luck,
Charles Wolters

I wonder if after three years ( a bit more actually ) the TS is still interested, or even lurking
and those were the only three posts by him

Maybe he lurked a little too much and has been unavailable.
