| Abstract | You would think that training as a code breaker, similar to those employed during the Second World War, wouldn’t be necessary to perform routine SAS® programming duties of your job, such as debugging code. However, if the author of the code doesn’t incorporate good elements of style in their program, the task of reviewing code becomes arduous and tedious for others. Style touches upon very specific aspects of writing code; indentation for code and comments, case for keywords, variables, and data set names, and spacing between PROC and DATA steps. Paying attention to these specific issues will enhance the reusability and lifespan of your code. By using style to make your code readable, you’ll impress your superiors and grow as a programmer. |
