A large-sample statistical technique attributable to Levy and based on Dunnett's well-known multiple-comparison method was programmed with the SAS system. The focus was on many-one comparisons among k independent sample product-moment correlation coefficients. An application using the numerical example in Levy's paper was introduced to illustrate the final analysis of a computer run conducted with this SAS program.
