When your DATA step program isn’t behaving the way that you expect, what tools do you have to fix it? Do you use PUT statements to inspect variables and the program data vector?  The DATA step debugger is a built-in tool that can help! And it’s available in SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Studio. In this session, you will learn:

• What the SAS DATA Step Debugger is and where to find it.
• How to use the debugger to set breakpoints, watch values and solve logic problems.
• The limitations of the debugger.
