How compatible is the WPS SAS-clone with the corresponding products from SAS Institute?
Has anyone tried it – if so: have you run into any compatibility issues?
My 2 cents:
I’ve tried WPS for some time and it does indeed make for a SAS working substitute as long as you keep yourself from using some advanced stuff from the base language.
A few examples from my own experience:
FETCH()you cannot useCALL SET()for automatically initializing all the variables found in the input dataset.In a few words: if you have a working SAS installation, ask for a WPS trial and test if it fits your use. If it does, be sure it’s a tremendous save in licensing.
