method of extraction of these variables from the database, list the calculated variables along with their calculations and input dependencies. Using this, a new data warehouse was designed and discussed. The platform programs were created first which extracted datasets from Sybase. The reporting datasets were then created from the platform datasets. The reporting datasets were divided into physical and performance datasets. Standard SAS macros like dates macros were created which were used in the programs. The programs also used SAS efficiency techniques.
