PROC IML is also available in the SAS University Edition. In SAS 9 ('traditional SAS'), you can access the SAS/IML language by licensing the SAS/IML product and calling the Matrix computations, numerical analysis, simulation, and optimization.
Recall that the SAS/IML language is a matrix-vector programming language that supports a rich library of functions in statistics, data analysis, What is it? How do you get access to it? How is it similar to and different from PROC IML? This article provides an overview of the iml action. The programmer can control many aspects of the computation, including how the computation is distributed among nodes and threads on a cluster of machines (or threads on a singleįuture articles will address the parallel programming capabilities of the iml action. You can use to implement a custom parallel algorithm.
The iml action provides a set of general programming tools that Most actions in SAS Viya perform a specific task, but the iml action is different. In addition, the iml action supports new programming features for parallel programming. With minimal changes, most programs that run in PROC IML also run in the iml action.
Same syntax and functionality as the SAS/IML matrix language, which is implemented in PROC IML. This article introduces the iml action, which is available in SAS Viya 3.5.
