NESUG 2009 Administration Support SAS Programming Knowledge Management Yajiang He, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Horsham, PA ABSTRACT There are a lot of industry or programming related knowledge are tacit, individual, internal, or project specific that need to be transferred into written, explicit, corporation-utilized, and externalized assets. The SAS® programming knowledge management will enable higher levels of performance by dynamically connecting people to people, people to technology, and people to data. Whether the knowledge of the best programming practice of each indi- vidual programmer can be captured, retained, transferred and shared will be dependent on how the programs are designed, organized, documented and become institutionalized. The best programming practice should be based on an effective knowledge management system that is aiming at knowledge learning, knowledge sharing and knowledge transferring. INTRODUCTION Ostensibly, the knowledge management of SAS programming is a matter of it-goes-without-saying. Most of the process of data extraction, transfer, derivation, analysis and reporting are written in codes. However, thousands of SAS programs or codes have become data ubiquity that makes the generalization and reuse of the programs harder in an organization. Whether the knowledge of the best programming practice of each individual program- mer can be captured, retained, transferred and shared will be dependent on how the programs are designed, or- ganized, documented and become institutionalized. Good sample of programming practice such as codes written with explicit comments in e
