  SAS System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SAS is driven by SAS programs that define a sequence of operations to be performed on data stored as tables.
SAS components expose their functionalities via application programming interfaces, in the form of statements and procedures.
From its FORTRAN origins, followed by PL/I and mainframe assembly language; in version 6 the SAS System was rewritten in C, to provide enhanced portability between operating systems, as well as access to an increasing pool of C programmers from the shrinking pool of PL/I programmers.

 TS-DOC: TS-Y2KCOMP - The SAS System Year 2000 Compliance Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The SAS System can either automatically use 4-digit years for output operations or gives the user the ability to do so, except for a few extremely rare cases described in Appendix A.
The SAS software releases and products (or components) listed in the previous sections as being Year 2000 compliant are compliant only when running on an operating system or used in conjunction with third-party software that is itself fully Year 2000 compliant.
Because the SAS System is partially composed of programming languages, including (but not limited to) the DATA step, Screen Control Language (SCL), Macro language, and IML (interactive matrix language), end users may have written SAS applications that use two-digit years in the application.

In fact, SAS is not really a single program, but rather a system that allows you to take data in any form and access, manage, analyze, and present it according to your needs and level of expertise.
SAS can read your data no matter how it looks in the file, but in the simplest case, data is either aligned in columns ("column" format) or separated by spaces ("list" format), as explained here.
SAS stores permanent data sets in operating system files, but rather than storing data sets in a plain-text form, SAS stores data sets in a highly efficient special format (known as data set format) that varies depending on the type of workstation you are using.
