  I agree with Howard's comment about the delimiter being messy. If you have
used comma delimited files before to move to spreadsheets or databases you
might note that a double quote can be used as well as a single quote.
Example  :      156,"O'hare Airport",456
This would cure this small problem. The other problem is determining when
to quote and when not to quote, character vs. numeric. I have found out that
many spreadsheets do not care if the numeric is quoted as well, all quotes
are stripped on input anyway. Its the first character of the field that they
use to determine the field type, character or numeric. Therfore you would be
quite safe with the following.
Example:   "156","O'Hare Airport","456"
You can always try it, if it does not work you could group your numeric
and character variables separately.

REL/PLTF: SAS/ACCESS Interface to ADABAS under MVS SAS 6.07
E-ADDR:   ratajczak@a1.relay.upenn.edu
NAME:     Lorraine Ratajczak
PH/ADDR:  (215) 898-9946/3401 Walnut St., Suite 265C, Phila., PA 19104-6228

I'm not sure what REL/PLTF stands for, so I hope I filled in the blank
properly :-).

Last week, running the SAS/ACCESS Interface to ADABAS using SAS 6.07 under
MVS/ESA, we experienced an ADABAS response code 71.  Once one job gets
the response code 71, *no one* (no TSO, batch, or CICS user) can access the
ADABAS database until our ADABAS guys manually clean up the user queues.
According to a trace taken using Treehouse's TRIM, SAS/ACCESS is not issuing
Release Commands, is not re-using Command ID's, and is leaving user queues
hanging.  We only noticed the problem when users really started using
SAS/ACCESS, and enough SAS/ACCESS jobs ran to fill the TBI pool.  Given that
this SAS problem affects our online transaction processing, I have asked
my SAS/ACCESS users to stop using it until the problem is solved.  SAS
Institute is working on the problem (tracking number 249881).

So, why am I writing?  Because we're upgrading our mainframe on August 9th,
and our current production SAS-ADABAS interface (EXTRACT/A under SAS 5.16)
won't work on the new mainframe.  The current version is dependent on the CPU
ID.  Before the vendor went out of business, they sent us a version that is
not dependent on the CPU ID, but it requires an obsolete version of PREDICT
(the ADABAS data dictionary), which we don't have and almost certainly can't
get.  As you can see, we're in a bind.  My manager and I hope you can help.

Has anyone else in SAS-Land experienced this response code 71 problem?  If so,
how did you deal with it?  Any advice on dealing with the situation in
general?

Your help is appreciated!

Subject:      Transport dataset from VMS to CMS

Hi Folks,

I need some help getting SAS 5.18 under CMS 5 to read a transport dataset
on a VAX.  I've tried the archives and the most useful thing there is a
reference to a paper on this topic to Tamara Fischel, to which I do not have
access. Hence this plea.

I'm told the transport file was created on the VAX (SAS 5.18) with the
following:

libname transfer '[alsobrook.transfer]';
libname elena    '[alsobrook.transfer.elena]';
PROC COPY in=elena out=transfer export;
endsas;

The transport format file was then sent to the CMS machine in a piece of
mail. When I stripped out the mail header and tried to read the resulting file
with PROC XCOPY, I got:

11         SAS(R) LOG  CMS SAS 5.18

As is manifestly plain from this query, my ignorance in
this area is too vast to allow a reasonable guess about
the cause(s) of the problem so any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks, Fraser

I don't know exactly the theoretical answer. But I may know the solution
if you use JCL. You may expand working memory on EXEC Card
such as:

    // EXEC SAS,WORK='6000,1800',REGION=4000K

If it does not work, you may try to expand your storage memory under CMS.
If memory problem happens after you worked a while. You can simply logoff
and logon again to get all memory coming back. It is not a SAS problem
through. Anyway, your problem does not look like a disk quota problem.

Good luck.

I'd appreciate any ideas from anyone with some experience in this area.

Subject:      SAS/ASSIST Document

         I recently purchased the document "SAS/ASSIST Software:
Your Interface to the SAS System" (Version 6.06, 1st Ed., 1990, $9.95).
I find it almost wholly worthless.  Others may have different views.
What it illustrates is the domination of a marketing ethos over an
educational one.  The publication seems, like so many commercial
software manuals, more intended to sell a product to a busy executive.
He will never use it, but his secretarial assistant might.  It is
largely uninformative describing the wonders that the user can
accomplish but not actually telling him how to do it.
           It is done slickly on expensive papers with lots of
multicolored screen graphics (red, white, blue and yellow) on black
in a font so small that only eagles and adolescents can possibly
read them (for what they are worth - which is little) without
magnifying glasses.
           I would strongly reccommend that no one purchase this
unfortunate document and invest the money in some of their much
more worthwhile manuals.

This is a LEFT JOIN ON DSA.KEY=DSB.KEY

Converting the FIRST.KEY filter is a little more  difficult,
since  SQL  doesn't recognize order or sequence on the input
side.  You will have to develop a  different  condition;  if
there  are  sequence numbers in the data, you could GROUP BY
KEY and select rows HAVING minimum sequence numbers.

Remember that if KEY values repeat in both tables,  the  SQL
join  works  differently than a DATA step MERGE.  If DSA has
three rows with KEY=95 and DSB has two rows with KEY=95, the
join  will  generate  3x2=6  rows,  whereas  the  MERGE will
generate max(3,2)=3.

Subject:      TN3270 terminal emulation and SAS/Graph

 Dear SAS-L collegues,

 My question of last friday:

 One of our user's has the following problem:
 He works on a 386 PC and uses the TN3270-terminal emulation via PC-NFS
 and Ethernet on the VM/CMS computer of our university.
 He wants to use his PC-monitor as Tektronix terminal in connection with
 SAS/Graph via:
   GOPTIONS DEVICE=TEK4010 GPROLOG='1d1b0c'x GEPILOG='18'x;
 Het is getting the SAS/Graph output on his monitor but is not able to
 remove the graphical output from the screen.
 The terminal is blocked.
 Has anyone of you a suggestion for the correct GEPILOG and GPROLOG?
 --------------------------------------------

 Hereafter the answers of 3 of our collegues.
 All three worked.

 The following is a file which I '%INCLUDE'

 Note that SAS usually requires **two** presses of the ENTER key
 before the first graph is displayed, and the same after the last graph.

 CUTCP is available via anonymous-FTP to 'OMNIGATE.CLARKSON.EDU'.

 Ben,

 The following GOPTIONS commands have been used more or less sucessfully
 at SMU running under VM/CMS:

 GOPTIONS DEVICE=TEK4010 GPROTOCOL=GSAS7171 GEPILOG='18'X
          GPROLOG='1B00';
 /* Press Alt-R to clear screen after graphics */

 GOPTIONS DEVICE=TEK4014 GPROTOCOL=GSAS7171
          GEPILOG='1B5B3F333868'X GPROLOG='1B5B3F333868'X;
 /* Press Alt-R to clear screen after graphics */

 When I say more or less, I mean the screen seems to lock up put a sucession
 of control g's after the Alt-R seem to work.

 I hope this helps,

Subject:      Problem with SQL

Dear Netlanders,
I've been following the enthusiastic discussion about the integration of
SQL in Base SAS... Right now i am converting a very big 5.18 AF-Prog-Lib
to SAS Rel 6.07 on MVS. We have lots of screens, that generate data-
selection Statements in background: formerly data steps with subsetting
ifs, now SQL views with long select from...... where ........ statements.
Used to SAS programming logic i have a very important but unsolved
problem: I have to merge two datasets in the following manner:
data ;
  merge dsa (in=a) dsb ;
    if a ;     /* only recs with contibution of dsa */
    by key;    /* both datasets are sorted by key... */
  if first.key;  /* keep only first appearance of rec. with keyvalue */
run;
The code might be strange, but that's the way it was written...
I think the idea is to merge two datasets to have vars from both
datasets, keep only recs with info from both datasets or dataset a
and finally keep only the first record if many recs have the
same key.

I really don't know how to accomplish this in SQL...  (this is not
criticism on SQL but confessing having more experience in datastep
than SQL...)

I really appreciate ANY hint on this, because the problem is very
important and urgent to my customers !!!

This is good advice.  One thing you might investigate is whether your
machine will support OS/2 in its current configuration.  I have a
Northgate 386/33 with 8 meg running AMI bios 3.2 dated 9-15-89.  I
wasn't able to successfully install OS/2 on my machine (despite the
fact that it seemed to meet all the requirements stated in IBM
literature).  After numerous attempts I called tech support, who told
me I needed an updated bios.  Somehow this didn't make it into the
fine print of the glossy marketing brochures.  So you might want to
add new bios to the cost of OS/2 upgrading.

Deborah Wall <wall@vax1.umkc.edu> asks if it is possible to produce a
map of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area using data by zipcode.  Yes, it
is possible.  Requirements are that your site licenses SAS/GRAPH and a
set of zipcode boundary files.  Boundary files can be licensed from
Geographic Data Technologies or NPDC/Claritas.  The GPROJECT and GMAP
procedures are used to produce the map.
