In reply to Peter Lancashire.

Hi Peter,
I am a technical writer at SAS and will be updating the documentation for the SAS Statements doc that you mention. I have been working on getting it updated based on your feedback. I was already in the process of adding a new chapter to the document you mentioned called "Conditionals and Loops", so it was perfect timing that you mentioned this.

You mentioned to "Look at any documentation for a SQL database product (not SAS) to see what I mean." I want to make sure that I have all the info I need ... :-) Can you give me a link/example? Just so I can compare what I have so far?

Thank you so much for your feedback!
Lisa
