Abstract: Abstract Solutions for two complex file management problems are proposed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS). SAS is an integrated system for data management, statistical analysis, data reduction and summarization, color graphics, and report writing. Several fundamental concepts of SAS are reviewed and four methods of solution are suggested. Detailed descriptions of each of the problem solutions are presented, including the input/output volume at each stage (a reasonable performance metric for comparing similar systems). Comparisons among the four methods are discussed, and program listings for each solution are included.
