“Using SAS macros can provide functionality as well as flexibility within code. Reading
Michele Burlew’s book, SAS Macro Programming Made Easy, Second Edition, helps
eliminate the ‘fear factor’ often associated with using macros, while offering valuable
insight to programmers with a broad range of experience.
“This book appeals to the less experienced SAS programmer by explaining how a macro
works in an easy-to-understand way and offers insight on various programming
techniques. pares the use of the macro procedure to using an office assistant
to perform repetitive tasks in a way that most can relate to. Experienced programmers
will also find this second edition of SAS Macro Programming Made Easy a useful tool in
better understanding the mechanics associated with macros. This book was easy to
follow and provides an excellent reference for macro programmers.”

“This second edition updates the classic macro book with SAS®9 features and new
sections, making this excellent reference to the SAS macro language even better.
Michele's friendly style is especially good for programmers who might be fearful of
macro programming (like me!).
“This book is filled with examples showing how to store and reuse macro programs,
build a library of routines, debug macro programs, and a stepwise method for writing
macro code.
“The discussion of the autocall piled macro facilities is very well done. In this
section, Michele gives examples of both of these facilities, explaining the advantages and
disadvantages of each. As an added value, you may want to include the macros she
presents in your own macro library.
“Michele Burlew has added new material and brought her already excellent first edition
up to date. This is a book that anyone who uses the macro facility needs to have in their
collection.”
