Invalid Argument Error What does SAS do in these cases? How do you know? How do you know if your SAS code isn't silently doing wrong? How do you know what caused your SAS session to crash? How do you know what algorithms SAS uses deep down inside? R gives you the source code, you can find these things out. The great irony here is that SAS have "THE POWER TO KNOW" as a registered trademark. Perhaps The R Foundation should trademark "THE POWER TO LEARN"?
