    For power users, the crown jewel of Systat 13.2 is the SCL. It allows users to script entire workflows:

    USE "C:\Data\clinical_trial.syd"
    REGRESS / DEPENDENT = Outcome / INDEPENDENT = Treatment, Age, Baseline
    SAVE / PREDICT = Predicted_Values / RESID = Residuals
    GRAPH / SCATPLOT Residuals * Predicted_Values
    

    This reproducibility is critical for regulatory submissions (FDA, EMA) where audit trails are required.
