Why would a company need to use this software? They are using SAS 9.4 on Unix not SAS Viya yet. Hello had a conversation with a clinical company yesterday and they mentioned they were using UltraEdit with SAS.
#ULTRAEDIT 19 KEY CODE#
I would write and debug programs on Turbo Pascal before transferring the code files to the school system because I loathed the VI editor that was the only one available at school. Do they "need" to? Depends on how essential the features the user wants that are not in the SAS supplied editor.įWIW, once upon a time I was in a programming class that used Pascal as the language. There were also some useful features such as customizable syntax highlighting that were not in the SAS 6 version of the editor. Since I was working in SAS and FORTRAN having a single editor that let me choose which system to submit the code files to was helpful. I discovered the programming editor EPM and quite often used that as one of the features of that editor was to submit the file to different programs.

Once upon a time my SAS environment was hosted on an OS/2 operating system. So choice of an editor is one way that users can implement such. There are things some editors do that some programmers consider "essential", whether it be code formatting or regular expression search and replace or something else that others don't. Editor choices (and abilities vs limitations) is a very old programmer topic.
