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 language|language of SAS]]. 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 statistical procedures. With inclusion of these it provides a complete suite for delivering on a large number of analytical problems.

The recent case of World Programming versus SAS Institute can be read [http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2010/1829.html#para35 here].

WPS can use programs written in the [[SAS language|language of SAS]] without the need for translating them into any other language. In this regard WPS is compatible with the SAS system. WPS is a language interpreter able to process the language of SAS and produce similar results.

Line 23 ⟶ 22:

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|language of SAS]]. The user interface is based on [[Eclipse (software)]].
