On all supported platforms, programs written in the language of SAS can be executed from a WPS command line interface, often referred to as running in batch mode. WPS on all other supported platforms (with the exception of the Mainframe z/OS platform) can also be used from a [[graphical user interface]] known as the '''WPS Workbench''' for managing, editing and running programs written in the [[SAS language|language of SAS]]. The WPS Workbench user interface is based on [[Eclipse (software)]].

WPS version 3 (released in February 2012) provides a new client/server architecture that allowesallows the WPS Workbench GUI to execute SAS programs on remote server installations of WPS in a network or cloud. The resulting output, data sets, logs, etc, can then all be viewed and manipulated from inside the Workbench as if the workloads had been executed locally. SAS programs do not require any special language statements to use this feature.
