Version 9.1 online documentation for SAS To get documentation on statistical PROC's, click on the + next to SAS/STAT, then the + next to SAS/STAT User's Guide. After a short wait, you'll get a list of all the PROC's in SAS/STAT. Click the + next to the desired procedure for more information. The syntax section is usually the most helpful to find errors. Other sections provide advice on interpretation. <
