+The **BasePlus** package adds a bunch of functionalities I am missing in BASE SAS, such as:
+```sas
+call arrMissToRight(myArray); 
+
+call arrFillMiss(17, myArray); 
+
+call arrFill(42, myArray); 
+
+rc = delDataset("DataSetToDrop"); 
+
+string = catXFn("date9.", "#", myArray);
+
+format x bool.;
+
+%put %getVars(sashelp.class, pattern = ght$, sep = +, varRange = _numeric_);
+
+%rainCloudPlot(sashelp.cars,DriveTrain,Invoice)
+
+%zipLibrary(sashelp,libOut=work)
+
+%bpPIPE(ls -la ~/)
+```
+and more.
