I spent a good deal of last week taking pot shots at the LISTSERVer until
I got it right, so.... (maestro, a little music please...)

TSNEWS-L is SAS Inst.'s first foray into net interaction with users.
It is a means of distributing technical news to users who so desire.
Requests should be mailed to LISTSERV @ VM.SAS.COM.

Your first submission to this listserver should be your subscription
request:

SUBscribe TSNEWS-L <your name>

Now here's the rub.  For many lists (including SAS-L) that is all you
need to do to start receiving messages.  TSNEWS-L uses AFD (automatic
file distribution) requests.  This is because technical news will vary
according to the platform, and why would a VAX site care about CMS
technical updates.  So after you receive a subscription conformation
from the listserver, you will need to set up an AFD password and should
also get an index of what is available.  So, your next message will be:

PW ADD xxxxx
Index TSNEWS-L

This will give you an AFD password of xxxxx (give yourself something
appropriate there).  You should get two mail messages back, one saying
that your password has been set, and one with an index of the TSNEWS
files.  Your subscription request will be the wildcard file areas that
are of interest to you.  My request looked like:

AFD ADD * ANNOUNCE PW=xxxxx
AFD ADD CMS* PALERT PW=xxxxx
AFD ADD MVS* PALERT PW=xxxxx
AFD ADD PCD* PALERT PW=xxxxx
AFD ADD OS2* PALERT PW=xxxxx

The filetype ANNOUNCE gives you technical announcements.  The filetype
PALERT is for problem alert letters.  You must give the first 3 letters
of the type of PALERT you want; you cannot request * PALERT.  You will
receive a single mail message confirming your AFD requests.

I hope this is a complete description.  Any corrections or additions
should be sent to the list for the benefit of all.

We've recently installed 6.07 SAS/SHARE on MVS, and unfortunately, we
too are experiencing this problem (which did *not* occur under 6.06).
The way it shows up is that SAS/SHARE never frees the datasets
allocated by a user, if that user has been "timed out".

I just called SI and spoke to Jeff Simpson, who couldn't find a
record of this problem.  But he said he would follow up, and gave me
tracking # 250018.

Can anyone out there shed any light on this?  Thanks!       --Tom

SUMMARY:  Please post simplified, self-contained problems

Ways to make it easier for people to work with SAS  problems
posted here:

(1) Simplify.  If you have a problem  which  arises  in  the
context  of  a  large  project or system, post a boiled-down
version which retains the essence of the  question  at  hand
but  eliminates  extraneous  variables,  shortens fields and
records, etc.

(2) Make it self-contained.  Include test data.

(3) If  it  is  a  data  manipulation  problem,  include  an
illustration of the desired output.

Doing these things will make it easier for other  people  on
the  list  to  work with your problem.  Your efforts will be
rewarded with more, better, and faster responses.

Dear SAS-L collegues,

my problems concerns BY-groups and new pages. (SAS 6.06 VM/CMS)

When I use:
   PROC FREQ;
      TABLES AGE*SEX;
      BY VARA;
   RUN;
I get a new page for each value of VARA.

How can I get the output of more BY-groups on a page (OPTIONS PAGESIZE=500
doesn't work)?

Subject:      Target device option in SAS-GRAPH

 I am using SAS version 6.07 and trying run SAS-Graph using the new
 graphics option targetdevice along with device option
 so that I could preview the graphics output on my X-Windows terminal and
 then send it to the printer(laser line printer).
 Unfortunately it is neither displaying the graph nor routing it to the
 printer. Could someone please help me.

 BTW the following g-options are used in my program:

  filename temp "grph.gsf";
  goptions device= xcolor
           targetdevice=ps300
           gaccess=gsasfile
           display

           ftext=swissx
           gsfmode=rotate
           gsfname=temp
           ;
first I am using gplot procedure and then feeding the output to  greplay to
replay the graphs in four different positions. Answers will be appreciated.

thanks.

Subject:      Re: Concurrent SAS data steps
Comments: To: Multiple Recipients of List SAS-L <sas-l@uga.cc.uga.edu>

Bob Roberts asked if it was possible to nest data steps.  Asserting a
null proposition (that something is not possible) is risky but I'll chance
it.  I asked SI the same question recently and Tech Support confirmed my
suspicion that this was *not* possible.  There are problems with marking
the step boundaries, not to mentioned parsing the syntax, that prevent
data step nesting.

However, if all you wanted to do to the SECONDB data set was to perform
table lookup, you can employ the technique of using the Format procedure
and the Put, Input functions to add the additional variable(s) to the
SECONDB data set.  Release 6.07 lets you use a SAS data set to define
the Format procedure ranges, which is a very helpful feature to have for
this type of activity.

Subject:      SAS on SunOS - possible bug with large data sets.......

When reading in raw data to SAS where there are a large number of
records per case (100+) we get a data segmentation error and thejob
aborts.  We've tried -memsize 16M, tried increasing size of buffers,
number of buffers, etc.  Still get the same error.  Running on SunOS
4.1.2 and 4.1.0, SAS 6.07, 40MB memory.  Looking at memory usage
it appears that SAS isn't getting enough memory to do the job.
It generally shows using about 1MB of memory.  Our config.sas
has max memory set to 40MB - so that isn't it.  Removing some
of the format statements sometimes does the trick and it doesn't
bomb.  Does anybody have a clue or have they run into this too?

Hi!

Here is what I did to accomplish what you want.  First use PROC GDEVICE and
copy the ps300 driver to another name, say ps300a.  I do this in a
gdevice0.devices catalog and leave the devices catalog in sashelp as it
comes from SAS.  Select the ps300a driver and modify the following lines on
the first screen:

     GACCESS: sasaegdt>lpr -P<printer name>  (or whatever whatever system
                                              command is appropriate to send
                                              a postscript file to the printer)
     DEVICE: PIPE

and on the gprolog window put:

     25210D

Now you can run the program:

goptions dev=xcolor
         target=ps300a
         ;
proc gtestit;
run;

After cycling through the three screens of output you can scroll back to any
one and do a PRINT command on the command line.

I RTFMed in the appendex of the UNIX Companion and this is not at all clear.
I would be led to try something like Smitha had origionally.  Does anyone
know where this is more clearly documentated?

I think Howard's response to Daisy Hsu's data management question was
great, but I have one comment.  The original posting was unclear to me
regarding whether the three data sets contained separate data (in
different formats) or whether it was the SAME data in different formats.
Howard (I think) is assuming it was separate data that needed to be
combined (hence SET SUB1 SUB2 SUB3; ...).  I can readily see why one
would assume that, but my first reaction was that maybe files two and
three were themselves re-arrangements of file number one.

I asked Daisy about this, but I didn't get any response.

Subject:      concurrent sas data steps

I would appreciate help with a problem.  Is it possible in SAS
to run one or more data steps to completion in the middle of
another data step?  Specifically, I would like to be able to
write and process new temporary data sets within iterations of
a "DO" loop in another data step.  For example,

data second secondb; set first(keep=v1-v10);
array(eins) v1-v10;
do i = 1 to 10;
   do j = 1 to 10;
      id1 = eins(i);
      id2 = eins(j);
      output secondb;
     end;
**** I would like to be able to process SECONDB (e.g., sort, merge
with another data set) before moving to the next iteration of
the "i" counter;

  end;

Thanks,

Bob

Subject:      SUGI 18 Conference Schedule

Jerry Oglesby, conference chair, asked that I pass along the
following information.  I'm not including it to start the SUGI
schedule discussion anew!  Rather than rehash the pros and cons of
the schedule, I suggest we wait and see how it works out.  These
changes were necessitated by circumstances beyond SUGI's control.  If
you have comments, please send them to me privately, and I'll see
that Jerry gets them.

Due to space considerations, The NYC conference will be split between
two hotels directly across the street from each other.  In order to
accommodate folks who need to go back and forth between papers,
papers will start on either the half hour or the hour, and will
either be 20 or 50 minutes long.  10 minutes was determined to be a
reasonable amount of time to allow given the physical layout, etc.
 Morning        Afternoon
 Start   End    Start End
  8:00   8:20   1:30  1:50
  8:30   8:50   2:00  2:20
  9:00   9:20   2:30  2:50
  9:30   9:50   3:00  3:20
 10:00  10:20   3:30  3:50
 10:30  10:50   4:00  4:20
 11:00  11:20   4:30  4:50
 11:30  11:50   5:00  5:20
If an invited paper started at 8:00, it would end at 8:50; if
starting at 8:30, it would end at 9:20, etc.  Schedules for Tutorials
and Online Demos and Hands on Workshops will be adjusted to conform
to the new schedule.

Obviously, this will reduce the number of papers which can be
accommodated- at a time when we expect a very large attendance.  With
limited space, it may be necessary to limit the conference
registrations. After years of theoretical discussions of having a
schedule based on 30 minute time blocks, I guess we'll find out in
actuality (but contributed papers will still be 20 minutes long).

I agree that this would be a useful  feature.   However,  it
isn't  quite 100% adequate, because of a little problem with
character values.  The problem:  a  character  variable  may
contain  the  delimiter  character  as  part  or  all of its
content.  The usual solution is  to  package  the  character
fields  in quotation marks, which in turn creates difficulty
if quotation marks appear in  content.   The  convention  to
handle  this  is  doubling of such embedded quotation marks.
So, if we had these three variable in an observation:

   var1 (numeric):     126
   var2 (character):   O'Hara, Adam
   var3 (numeric):     621

the comma-delimited record should be something like:

   126,'O''Hara, Adam',621

which consists of just three fields under these conventions.
This  would  require something a bit more elaborate than the
DELIMITER= option.

Subject:      Guttman & Sun/Oracle
Comments: To: sas-l@ohstvma.ircc.ohio-state.edu

Platform: Sun4, SAS 6.07

Hi Folks,

    Two entirely separate questions:

1) Is the Guttman scale implemented in SAS 6.07
   on the Sun?  If not, does anyone have IML
   code or something which will enable me to
   produce it?  An SPSS user in my lab is
   gloating about this one.

2) Has anyone had hands-on the 'soon-to-be'
   SAS/Access for Oracle on the Sun4?
   Does it seem solid, and would it be able
   to say, access Oracle data off a PC
   server on a Novell net (given that there
   is a TCP/IP-IPX gateway)?

Many thanks!

Cheers,
