Platforms: How Do You Do This in SAS?

This app, "Platforms: How Do You Do This in SAS?", is one of a series of eBooks about SAS software programming focusing on frequently asked questions and answers about SAS on Windows, UNIX, Linux and z/OS, illustrated by code samples which can be sent by email directly from the app. It is designed to encourage users to contribute questions some of which will be included in future versions of the app. There are controls to select specific questions, move to the previous or next question, decrease or increase the font to suit the user's preference, and send emails requesting answers to questions not yet included in that version of the eBook.

It uses controls to select specific questions (click on the button or drop-down next to the title), move to the previous [Pg-] or next [Pg+] question, decrease [A-] or increase [A+] the font to suit the user's preference, and send emails requesting answers to questions not yet included in that version of the eBook [Ask ?]. The code samples that can be sent via email have white backgrounds, and open the email client when clicked.
