NOTE: You are not required to use this template. If your paper was prepared for SAS Global Forum 2009, the format is just fine except you need to change the paper number.
Please use the proceedings paper template (described above - this way is easiest), or use a single-spaced, one column per page format and include page numbers.
Remember to include
Proper trademark references and the trademark citation
