CIT is reviewing support for the SAS/C compiler, currently offered on both the OS/390 North and South systems. C is a machine-independent language, allowing a program created on one operating system platform (e.g., Unix or OS/390) to be transported to another. The SAS Institute's C programming language compiler includes a powerful source level debugger and complies with the American National Standards Institute’s C standard. However, SAS/C has numerous non-portable extensions specifically intended for the OS/390 environment.

If you would like to see SAS/C continued to be offered in CIT’s OS/390 environment, please let us know by contacting TASC or sending e-mail to SILKWEB@list.nih.gov. Your responses will help us make our decision.
