A Discussion of Various Possibilities for Data Entry Using SAS - An Evergreen

Overview This video poster is a summary of experiences one has made with data entry when introducing SAS to medical students or physicians. For preparing their theses or doing scientific work they are involved in data collection and data analysis. An important phase between data collection and data analysis is data entry, the topic to which this paper is devoted to. Most books concerning data analysis using SAS demonstrate data entry only in combination with the data step using the cards or datalines statement. Nowadays, however, hardly someone can be convinced to enter data in this ancient way. This paper introduces more attractive possibilities of data entry and should serve as a guide for SAS novices.
