Guy Harris (talk | contribs) Clean up platform lists, based on the current "Deployment" page. Put individual Linux platforms in a parenthesized list after "Linux" ("Linux" doesn't refer to any particular platform, not even x86, so don't use it to mean "Linux on x86"). Solaris isn't listed any more. |

The '''World Programming System''', also known as '''WPS Analytics''' or '''WPS''', is a software product developed by a company called [[World Programming]].
WPS Analytics supports users of mixed ability to access and process data and to perform [[data science]] tasks. It has interactive [[visual programming]] tools using data workflows, and it has [[Computer programming|coding]] tools supporting the use of the [[SAS language]] mixed with [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[R (programming language)|R]] and [[SQL]].<ref name="WPS Analytics">{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldprogramming.com/home|title=WPS Analytics|accessdate=10 April 2019|publisher=World Programming}}</ref>
Line 23:
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 has a built-in language interpreter able to process the language of SAS and produce similar results.<ref name="Your Apps – Language Support">{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldprogramming.com/products/wps/your-apps/language-support|title=Your Apps – Language Support|accessdate=3 February 2012|publisher=World Programming}}</ref>
WPS is available to run on [[z/OS]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[macOS]], [[Linux]] ([[x86]], [[AArch64|Armv8 64-bit]], [[PowerLinux|IBM Power LE]], [[Linux on IBM Z|IBM Z]]), and [[IBM AIX|AIX]].<ref name="Platforms – Summary">{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldprogramming.com/information/deployment|title=Deployment|accessdate=13 November 2019|publisher=World Programming}}</ref>
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldprogramming.com/products/wps/modules/interface/cli|title=Interface Module – WPS CLI|accessdate=3 February 2012|publisher=World Programming}}</ref>
