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 SAS.

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]] platform.

The core of WPS is written in [[C++]]. It is this core that provides the support to process SAS

language elements and provides [[Porting|portability]] between different operating systems. WPS can be installed and used on mainframe computers running [[z/OS]] and personal computers and servers running [[Microsoft Windows]].

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)]].
