The '''World Programming System''', also known as '''WPS''', is a software product developed by a company called [[World Programming]]. WPS allows users to create, edit and run [[computer programs|programs]] written in the [[SAS programming language]].

WPS can use programs developed with the [[SAS System]] without the need for translating them into any other language. It also follows that programs developed with WPS can be used with the SAS System. In this regard WPS is compatible with the SAS system.

The WPS Core (or the information-processing code) is written in C++ and Assembler. The WPS Core alone handles all the SAS language statements, not the IDE. The WPS Core does not in any way utilise any interpreted JAVA code in order to process SAS statements. This same WPS Core is utilised by WPS running on either the [[z/OS]] or, [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] platformand [[Unix|UNIX]] platforms.

When installed on a Windows system, WPS has a [[graphical user interface]] (known as the '''WPS Workbench''') for managing, editing and running programs in the SAS language. The user interface is based on [[Eclipse (software)]].
