| Abstract | Efficient SAS® programming is one of the keys to success for SAS® programmers and in-turn to their organizations. SAS® programmers are always looking for tips and tricks to make their job more effective and less time consuming, without compromising on the quality. This saved time and resources can then be utilized in learning new skill sets, improving existing processes and many other infrastructure development ideas and initiatives. TextPad® is one such simple tool; when used in conjunction with SAS®, it can do wonders. This paper sheds light on aspects of using TextPad® for efficient SAS® (Statistical/Clinical) Programming techniques. Some of the utilities of TextPad® that will be discussed in this paper are as below: • Executing SAS® from TextPad® and creating “Run SAS” button in the Toolbar • Viewing multiple files (SAS, LST, LOG) • Creating quick tags and shortcuts using TCL files • Comparison of multiple files (SAS, LST, LOG) • Synchronize scrolling to facilitate manual comparison • Quick fix indentations by block selection • Search text string features: “Find” and “Find in files” options • Accessing direct links to SAS® programs, in search results of “Find in files” option • Replacing text strings in one or more files • Color coding, to identify keywords of concern (Example: WARNING, ERROR, UNINTIALIZED, MISSING, etc.) |
