WPS can use programs written in the 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.

The WPS Core (or the information-processing code) is written in C++ and Assembler. The WPS Core alone handles all the language of SAS statements, not the IDE. The WPS Core does not in any way utilise any interpreted JAVAJava 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 language of SAS. The user interface is based on [[Eclipse (software)]].
