Para quienes trabajamos en el mundo de la analítica, nos resulta cada vez más sencillo explicar cuál es el impacto social de nuestro trabajo y por qué el desarrollo de esta ciencia -que tomamos profesionalmente- es un tema que nos apasiona tanto. Nosotros sabemos que la analítica es capaz de cambiar el
SAS makes it easy for you to create a large amount of procedure output with very few statements. However, when you create a large amount of procedure output with the Output Delivery System (ODS), your SAS session might stop responding or run slowly. In some cases, SAS generates a “Not
Beginning with SAS® 9.4, you can embed graphics output within HTML output using the ODS HTML5 destination. This technique works with SAS/GRAPH® procedures (such as GPLOT and GCHART), SG procedures (such as SGPLOT and SGRENDER), and when you create graphics output with ODS Graphics enabled. Most (if not all) existing
