Howdy? It is Wylbur for me. There used to be a PC version, I do not know
if it is still available.
 
For years I have been urging SAS Institute to include Wylbur-like features
in the SAS Program Editor, but so far it has been like playing a fiddle to
a goat.

All PC based SAS users:
 
Is there an editor of choice that is used on the PC for developing SAS
applications other than the SAS editor?
 
I am familiar with Xedit on CMS and would like to get a similar editor to use
on the PC. On CMS, I find that the SAS editor is just not useful for a lot of
things that I frequently do in an editor.  For example, I frequently make use
of the ALL command (I suppose it is a macro) in Xedit that "shows" all rows in
a large file that contain a certain string.  This narrows the field down to
only a few lines when looking at say a particular variable and its
calculations.  I haven't been able to find a way to do this in the SAS editor
and am hoping to find an editor on PC that can do this and other similar kinds
of things.
