Better SAS Programming Through Version Control

Overview This paper expands upon concepts introduced in the SUGI31 paper "Version Control on the Cheap. A User-Friendly, Cost-Effective Revision Control System for SAS." Several examples specific to the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) are presented. Those concepts can be applied to other systems. The benefits of version control can be attained by individuals or scaled up to global programming teams. The goal is not to review and compare various applications and methods, but to present general concepts and provide specific examples from the experience gained using CVS on over three hundred SAS programming projects.
