The Visualizer is a graphical, SAS® language-aware program flow and data
flow analysis tool. The Visualizer reads, parses, and displays your SAS®
source code files, representing each program and data block with an icon. Arrows
connect these icons to show program and data flows, making them simple to read and
understand. Tightly integrated with the Editor, the Visualizer lets you examine your
source files interactively. For example, while in the split
view mode, a user is able to click on an icon to jump to the actual program code in
the editor. Similarly, changes made in the Editor (either in the
split view mode or in the Editor mode) can be easily reflected in the Visualizer, as
well. By clicking on the "Refresh" icon  on the tool bar, the
visualization instantly reflects the change made in the code.
