Macro (STATISTICA Visual Basic) Overview  The STATISTICA Visual
Basic language (integrated into STATISTICA) is compatible with
the industry standards and offers incomparably more than just a
"supplementary application programming language" that can be
used to write custom extensions.  Note that STATISTICA Visual
Basic (SVB) is not Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. StatSoft owns and
maintains the code for STATISTICA Visual Basic. SVB is
compatible with Microsoft's VB.NET, Microsoft's Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA), and also with Microsoft's Visual Basic 6.0
(VB6). SVB scripting language is unique in terms of its
flexibility and compatibility, and it is also very powerful. It
provides access to Visual Basic for Applications (used for
scripting Microsoft Office products) and access to the .NET
Framework within the same file (see STATISTICA Programming in
VB.NET Overview). Other APIs can also be accessed and leverage
the flexibility of SVB, such as, for example, Yahoo's Stock
Quote API or Google Analytics API. SVB
