R’s flexibility in data types is not really comparable to SAS as it is quite fast enough.SAS deals with Datasets than can be considered the same as Rs Data Frame.This is a blessing especially for variable and dataset names. SAS is case insensitive while R is case sensitive.SAS has different windows for coding, log and output.For a SAS turned R turned SAS coder- here are some views.I was really impressed by the enhancements made to the interface, the ability to search command help through a drop down, the color coded editor and of course the case insensitive SAS language (though I am not a fan of the semi colon I loved using Ctrl + / for easy commenting and uncommenting) I downloaded a Dataset from this collection hereĦ) Then I uploaded it to within the SAS Studio Systemħ) Lastly I was able to run some basic commands I was able to open the SAS Studio at the IP Address provided. I got that from here ~200 MB Ĥ) Finally I installed VM Player and Open an Existing Virtual Machine to boot up SAS University Edition For Linux you can see ģ) I chose VM Player for Linux because I am much more comfortable with VM Player ( Desktop free version).
