Does anyone know how to determine the postion of the cursor in an FSEDIT or AF
application for use in an SCL program?  In V6.06 and later the function 'winfo'
exists but not in V6.04/PC-DOS.  It would be sufficient to be able to capture
the name of the field (if any) where the cursor is postioned.
Any ideas out there?

Gert,
  Regarding your question yesterday, yes it is possible to
redirect your workspace region on VMS. I have written a batch
program which does this and which goes like this:
(it is called batchsas.com)

$set default diskdrive:[your.directory]
$sas 'P1'.SAS/work="diskdrive:[desired.work.region]

  To invoke this program, you would then simply type the following:

submit/parameter=<filename> batchsas

Note that filename does not need the sas extension when invoking,
since the batch program already takes care of it.

Hope this is of some use to you.

Willy,

The only thing I know to do is to go through the catalogs in the
SASHELP library looking for identifiable SOURCE entries. It's a pain
but the only answere I've ever been able to get. The other option might
be just to ask SI Tech Support and see if they'll deliver.

Good Luck,
Bob

In general, SAS/GRAPH takes the graphic output page,
and divides it into a number of HPOS and VPOS units.
For example, an IBM 3279G terminal has 80 HPOS units, and 32 VPOS units.
So, when SAS/GRAPH uses the "smallest-hardware-font",
the width of a single character will be 1/80th of the width of the screen,
and the height of a single character will be 1/32nd of the screen-height.

If you specify 'GOPTIONS NOCHARACTERS', then the SAS/GRAPH software
will **not** use the "hardware" characters; it will actually "draw"
characters, using a collection of "pen-movements".
The characters will still be approximately the same height and width.

If you specify 'GOPTIONS HPOS=mm VPOS=nn', where "mm" and "nn"
do **not** match the default values, then SAS/GRAPH will also
use a software font.  So, if your values of "mm" and "nn" are
**half** the default-values, then SAS/GRAPH will draw characters
which are **twice** the height and width of the hardware characters.

Invoke 'PROC GDEVICE', select the graphics device-driver you wish to use,
e.g., enter 'FIND IBM3852' or 'FIND IBM3852H' or 'IBM3852L',
and then examine the default values for 'Prows' and 'Pcols'.
Compute 50% of these values, and use them for your values of "mm" and "nn".

Question: Spacing in Fonts used by SAS/GRAPH
OS      : MVS/ESA
Release : SAS 6.07
From    : Alina Chu
--------------------------------------------------
I am trying to create network flow diagrams using PROC NETDRAW that fit on
one page.  I managed using the Graphics and compress options to do so and
send it to a IBM 3825 page printer as a graphic image.  My problem is that
all the fonts listed in the SAS/GRAPH manual whether uniform spacing or not
are too indistinct to be readable in the boxes of the flow diagram.

Reading the PROC GFONT chapters I thought that I may be able to create a font
that has larger intercharacter spacing when the height of the characters is
smaller.  However, I cannot find the source for any of the SI supplied fonts
to use to create a font with just greater spacing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I end up dealing with lots of tapes, so I can answer this one, sort of...

9 trk, 2400', 6250 bpi            ---> 80 MB

IBM 3480 tape cartridge           ---> 200 MB

4 mm DAT, normal density          ---> 1.5 GB

4 mm DAT, high density HP drive   ---> 8 GB

8 mm DAT, normal density          ---> 2.5 GB

8 mm DAT, high density            ---> 5 GB

Note that the 9trk tape actually holds relatively little data.

The actual amount of data that you will get on a tape depends on the
length, density, and also on the 'blocking factor' or the amount of
data that can be written in one burst.  The maximum amount in one burst
varies with the operating system and the actual software used to write
the data, but bigger is better (Maximums I have seen are 2048 bytes on
DEC VMS, 32k on IBM MVS, to the whole tape on some streaming drives).

Your mileage will vary ...

Hi SAS-Landers,

Well it looks like it finally happened....Joe Walsh told me that
the OFFICIAL WORD (from everybody at NESUG; Dr. Goodnight et al)
was that the beta version 6.08 of SAS for Windows was released
Monday, October 5th, 1992.  SAS tech support also said this and
they say that SAS 6.08 for OS/2 2.0 will be shipped later this
month or early November.   SAS target date for native NT version
is 1Q93.  Joe mentioned that both the OS/2 2.0 and the NT
versions are true 32-bit applications.

Has anyone heard about SAS putting out their own emulator?  Could
it possibly support OS/2?  We're considering the GDDM/OS2 link
but maybe....

Kernon,

I resorted to RTFM and it looks like NODSNFERR just supresses a catagory
of error message. My problem was that an error generated by a macro bombed
Proc Datasets. The result was that SAS set OBS = 0 for all subsequent
data operations effectively turning the remainder of the program into a
golorified syntax check. Under some circumstances it would be desirable to
suppress that error handling reaponse so that the rest of the job will
continue.

I hope this clarifies,

Regards,
Bob

Hi,

I am trying to produce output from proc tabulate with graphic lines around
cells, rather than |,+,-.  I am running SAS 6.04 and 6.07, on a PC and
Unix respectively.  Output is to go to an Apple LaserWriter.  A variant of
the program is shown below (I have tried many combinations!):

proc tabulate formchar='B3C4C4C4C4B3C5B3C4C4C4'X;
format strat str. mode $mode. st s. lang $lang.;
class mode st lang;
var count;
label count=' ';
table mode, st*count=' '*(sum='Count Total' pctsum<st>='Percentage') /
   rts=15;
run;

Part of the output I get is shown below (not quite what I had in mind):

Any ideas please?

Secondly, is it possible to specify tabs as delimeters rather than spaces?
When putting tables (or any other text output) into WordPerfect, I use
courier font (ugh) to keep spacing intact.  Tabs would allow me to keep the
layout but specify a nicer font.

Alternatively, is it possible to specify 'output fonts'?

Many thanks.--

Hi again
Is there any way in which SAS can be made to not execute steps following
a step containing fatal errors in interactive mode much the same as it
does when in batch mode.
I am using SAS 6.07 on a SUN4.
The option ERRORABEND which the FM suggests causes SAS to exit from the
session altogether.

We are about to embark on a major upgrade of PCs with the intention of moving
much of our SAS processing to OS/2 SAS.  In preperation, we have been
comparing various PCs and configurations using both OS/2 SAS and C benchmark
programs, but we have been very surprised to find little to no improvement
with EISA/SCSI systems.  Has anyone been able to demonstrate a performance
increase by using EISA, and if so doing what?

Thanks,

Has anyone used the X-windows interface to SAS/CMS through TCP/IP?  If so,
what did you think?  Any problems?  Anything to look out for?
