Carolina is a software utility that converts existing Base SAS® language code into Java. The resulting Java programs can be immediately executed using the Java Runtime Environment across the enterprise or used for further development and maintenance.

What It Is

Carolina is:

• a Java application with command-line interface.
• a Java code generator from Base SAS. Hardware platform independent.
• a Base SAS replacement.
• a legacy Base SAS migration tool; initial focus: enterprise scoring.
• a Base SAS syntax tree (multiple language outputs possible).

What It Is Not

Carolina is not:

• a desktop analytical tool.
• an Interactive Development Environment (IDE).
• a Base SAS clone or a third-party alternative Base SAS interpreter, like WPS.
• a systems integration exercise.

System Requirements

Carolina’s minimum requirement is a system with Java Runtime Environment 5.0 update 11 or later pre-installed.
