Hi,

When I hear "SAS animated PowerPoint", I think of Russell Lavery's excellent series of "Animated Guide" talks. I'd be surprised if you could find a copy of those on the web. I think he's put enough time into developing them that he holds them fairly tightly (and rightly so). But if someone knows differently, please let me know.

In the mean time, I will send you (off-list) my own attempt at doing a (poorly) animated guide to the PDV. It's really more of an intro to the datastep. And uses fake animation to show how a data step is compiled, and the PDV is built, and that during execution the data step is a loop with an implied output at the bottom, variables created in a step are initialized at the top of the loop, etc. It's not much, but might be enough of a start to inspire you to improve on it for your own needs.

Regards, --Quentin
