From sasCommunity

I have just uploaded a new issue (issue 38, 2007 Q2) of VIEWS News onto the VIEWS web site, [www.views-uk.org], which you can also access via the VIEWS News wiki page.

While it appears that the promised release of SAS software version 9.2 is not now going to happen until 2008, this year is still going to be an interesting one. The announcement of sasCommunity.org at the SAS Global Forum will give everyone a chance to have their say about the future of SAS software development, and will hopefully spread the word about VIEWS News to a wider audience. I have written a report about the SAS Global Forum, and there are previews of 2 other events, the Wisconsin Illinois SAS Users Conference in Milwaukee and the UK Technical Event for SAS Practitioners in London, where I'll be presenting during the summer before the next issue. If you are at any events I'm attending, then please feel free to come up and tell me what you think of VIEWS News.

In this issue of VIEWS News I have a number of articles from well-known sources: a graphics design tip from LeRoy Bessler, an undocumented SAS informat from Peter Crawford and some more useful tips from the Amadeus Software Consultancy Team. I hope you will find them all interesting and helpful.
