The example below might do what you want. This was run under SAS 6.06
on VM/CMS.
data test;
  input x;
  if x <= .Z then put 'missing ' x;
    else if x > 9 then put 'big ' x;
       else put 'small ' x;
cards;
10
2
.
14
6
;

      < the SASLOG contains:>

big 10
small 2
missing .
big 14
small 6

  I am looking into the possibility of rewriting a brief introduction to
SAS here at our Universty.  We currently have about a 10 page write-up that
covers the CMS and MVS host setups and goes into a little detail of how to
execute a simple SAS program.

  My question is does anyone out there in SAS land have any write-ups that
would help the user with the CMS host setup and how to code simple SAS programs
 ?  10 pages or less ?


  Thanks to all who reply.

This is a well-known "feature" of SAS. I have requested
since 1980 (?) that they include three-way logic:

    if x < -20 then y=1;
               else y=2;
            unknown y=3;

The unknown branch, if specified, is taken if the result
of the logical condition can not be determined due to
the presence of missing values. If not specified, the
program performs as current SAS so that upward compatibility
is maintained.

Maybe I've been sending my suggestions to the SASware ballot
to the wrong address. I haven't been following the balloting
recently.

Thanks again to Karl Schimanko, David Nasser, and Michael F. Perry
I think I now (more or less) understand this.  It is a CMS limitation
that macro window names be seven or fewer characters in length.  I
verified this by changing the window name WELCOME to WELCOMER and the
program broke, and only displayed the windows NAMEADD (formerly NAME_ADD)
and MONEY.
  Bill Babb hypothesized that this was some obscure CMS character problem,
but though I admit I was sympathetic with this idea, it turns out not to
be the case.
  Anyway, if SI is listening (and I know you are) you might want to change
the error message in the SAS log from the cryptic:

 ERROR: Unable to open window macro file WELCOMER.

to something more like:

 ERROR: Unable to open window macro file WELCOMER since its name is just
too long for me.  :-(

   Anyway, thanks for your time and patience once again, SAS-L!

I was surprised to find no, "simple," solutions readily apparent in
the SAS manuals, and, as a result coded and tested following sledge-
hammer approach under CMS:

data temp;
  to = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
  from = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    input a1 $ a2 $ a3 $;
      array A A1-A3;
      do _I_ = 1 to 3;
        A = translate(A,to,from);
        substr(A,1,1) = translate(substr(A,1,1),from,to);
       end;
cards;
1983 FOSTER LANE
1295 CAVERN PLACE
7654 DONNELY DRIVE
;;;;

Hopefully this is a starting point and more elegant solutions will
be offered.  For now, however, the program does answer the problem
of translation to lower case and then the first letter of your address
back to upper case.

Comments: To: Joe Walsh <JWALSH@UMDACC.BITNET>

Joe -

I would take Eric Webb's advice about the HEX command in ISPF/PDF
one step farther.  But first, please note a little confusion about
where brackets and braces are really needed.  The manual shows them
in some instances (e.g., array definitions) where simple parentheses
do just fine.  But in other instances (e.g., proc iml) they are
required.  TSO handles braces "}" and "{" but not square brackets,
both of which are required in proc iml.  To get square brackets, use
the HEX ON command in the PDF editor.  Then type vertically AD for
opening brackets and BD for closing brackets under the columns in
which you want the brackets.  Then type HEX OFF to restore a normal
looking screen.  Note that you cannot insert or delete columns to the
left of these characters.  If you need to move them, you have to go
into HEX ON mode, type 40 or some other hex code vertically under
them to delete them (40 is hex for blank), and retype the AD or BD
in different columns.

Historical note:  For as long as I can remember, the IBM users group
SHARE has had a request with IBM to implement square brackets in
EBCDIC.  Compatibility with other IBM products (like PCs) that use
ASCII, which handle square brackets, should push IBM that direction,
but it appears to be a low priority for them.

Hello,
did anybody ever recognized that SAS identifies the
missing value '.' as a number < 0?

I classified several variables like that:

if x < -20 then y=1;
if x >= -20 and x < 0 then y=2; and so on.

I was surprised, that I had suddenly distributions with
a high percentage of negative values - solution: SAS
puts every '.' in all intervals that classify values < 0|

I can't say what does work, but I have tried both of these and neither
works.  The difficulty is that FoxPro has **extended** the definition
of .dbf files to allow more variables than dBase does;  both PROC DBF
and DBMS/Copy choke on the long records.

DBMS/Copy supports FoxBase, but FoxPro is not listed.

I have seen a recent advertisement for a product that claims to convert
FoxPro and FoxBase datafiles (and they **are** different) to other
databases that DBMSCopy could handle (like Paradox), but not to SAS
directly.  I don't recall the name.

All users' data or files are expected to reside in a NFS server which
is in the same net as for the sas server.

For some reasons, we have the following machines for this project:

1. HP 730 for sas and X.
2. HP 817s server for NFS.

As we've no experience on sas with X and HP's server, we would like to
, therefore, hear any comment on the setup and feasibility on implement
it with HP's machines.

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      MXG and CPE

SAS collegues,

at our university we use among others SAS under MVS/ESA.
We are looking for a package for analysing SMF and RMF records.
Who of you have experience with the MXG and SAS/CPE software?
If so, can you send me a short impression of your experiences with those
packages.
Would you recommand one of these?

Thanks in advance,

Ben Bloemberg

Subject:      New Unix Pricing Schedule
Comments: To: SAS Mailing List <SAS-L@ohstvma.ircc.ohio-state.edu>

As of April 1, there is a new fee schedule for Unix for academic institutions
that I feel is responsive to many of the comments which have been made on
SAS-L about SAS Institute's policy.

The first feature is that all products are bundled together, so for the same
cost, you can license all products - Base, AF, ASSIST, CONNECT, ETS, FSP,
GRAPH, IML, INSIGHT, OR, QC, STAT.

Here are the prices (/yr, US$)

Workstation Units              First Year     Renewal
	5                       2000            1500
       10                       2500            2000
       25                       3000            2500
       50                       3500            3000
      100                       4000            3500

Each platform is licensed seperately, e.g. if you want to run both DEC & SUN
you will need to have two licenses.

For UNIX-based servers is $2500 first year, $2000 renewal.

If you already have a license, you need only pay renewal rates.  Contact you
friendly SAS sales-critter for more details, mine is sure friendly about this
new offer :-*


Just in time so the SI staff don't get beat up too bad at SUGI :-)
