Abstract: Data visualization techniques and technologies bring new levels of understanding to your data. The SAS Output Delivery System (ODS) is a marvelous tool used for formatting output generated by SAS procedures and DATA steps. ODS enables effective application design strategies to be implemented while providing flexibility and ease of use. Combined with products such as SAS/GRAPH software, new levels of interactivity bring your data to life with drill-down approaches. End users start out with summary informatio n and can dive into the details at the click of their mouse button using a graphical user interface. This class presents the process of building drill-down applications in the SAS System. Topics will include base-SAS and SAS/GRAPH software.
