SAS is very complete, very expensive, and not easy to use. You will be able to do all that you ask about with SAS. But if you are starting out, and anyway need to learn a new language, why not go for GPL'ed software? The free statistical language R (Search google for CRAN), will do all you ask about, and much more, and is decidedly not more difficult to learn than SAS.
