Amir,

  Welcome to SAS-L.

  Your first source for code should be our archives.  Search for posts by Dale McLerran or Stringplayer, David Cassel, Peter Flom, Shawn Haskell, Robin High, Ryan Black, Mathew Zack, among others.

  I believe you will find very detailed, lucid explanations and code from these posters.

HTH,

Kevin
