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 [[SASlanguage programmingof languageSAS]]. The latest release of WPS covers a significant gap in use of WPS. It now provides PROC REG and PROC Logistic support which are two mainly used procedures. With inclusion of these it provides a complete suite for delivering on a large number of analytical problems.
WPS can use programs developedwritten within the [[language of 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 of SAS statements, not the IDE. The WPS Core does not in any way utilise any interpreted JAVA code in order to process language of SAS statements. This same WPS Core is utilised by WPS running on the [[z/OS]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Mac OS X]] and various [[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 written in the [[SAS language]] of SAS. The user interface is based on [[Eclipse (software)]].
