MultiEdit for SAS



Multi-Edit for SAS is the latest release from Multi-Edit - Now the power of Multi-Edit Lite resides in what we believe to be the best SAS® programming editor on the market today.

Welcome to the power of a great IDE built for SAS® Programming

Feature rich, the tools included with Multi-Edit Lite for SAS®, provide simple access to time-saving features that have been specifically designed for the SAS® language.

Basics include SAS® highlighting, indention, and fast commenting.
Expand keystrokes into SAS® language constructs.
Complete SAS® integration and debugging tools are immediately available and smart code creates SAS® Proc and Data steps using dialogs.

Multi-Edit Lite for SAS^® is a collection of edit macros, templates, and other tools that allow Multi-Edit Lite to become a "SAS^® IDE". If you have worked mainframes, UNIX and PC boxes, you've seen a lot of editors. Most IDE's have pages of checkboxes to select optional behaviors, but don't allow you to make your own tools that operate within the edit environment. Multi-Edit Lite for SAS^® does! Multi-Edit Lite for SAS^® has the customization level beyond what you get from the ISPF or Unix shell environment. This includes being able to create your own edit macros, menus, tool bars, etc. With our tools you can increase your productivity. With a copy of the SAS/PC you can develop, test, and fix at PC speeds, all locally. Conversely you can still use the powerful editing features and upload/download your work to the host.

Both ISPF Edit and VI have features that many programmers often overlook (mask and line exclusion in ISPF, abbreviations and find-and-print in VI as examples). These features or their functional equivalents are available in Multi-Edit Lite for SAS^®. The tools that come with MeLS^® create short-learning-curve access to these powers in ways specialized for the SAS^® language.

SAS^® editors needs to be flexible, conform to you, not the other way around. Although the grouping of the products features may seem artificial, most tools can be accessed in a variety of ways. For instance you can comment block a selected group of text by selecting a menu item, pressing a tool bar button, or typing a template keyword (with persistent blocks on). Please review all of the features to fully appreciate the power and plasticity of our product.
