The SAS System was used to program an algorithm for constructing both simple and complex multiple comparisons among product-moment correlation coefficients. The statistical procedure is attributable to Marascuilo (1966) and is based on Scheff6's method (1959). This SAS program is applicable to designs with either equal or unequal sample sizes in the cells.
