Title: The Benefits of Object-Oriented Application Development Using the SASSystem
Abstract: The SAS System can now take full advantage of the object-oriented (00) paradigm. There are volumes of materials describing the benefits of object-oriented programming in general. There are also manuals describing how to write 00 appncalions with SAS software. This paper describes why you may want to use 00 techniques when writing applications based on SAS · software. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a refinement of modular programming. SAS Institute has provided 00 constructs that build upon existing modular programming techniques available to Screen Control Language (SCL) programmers. As a result, well-Written modular SCL programs are but a step away from becoming classes in a class hierarchy. A class hierarchy can act as a set of generic tools that can be applied to virtually any application.
