I just wanted to say that SAS/Connect does work between OS/2 2.0 and VMS.
It is a real pain to get the script files to work - but it does work.

Sally - It looks like you are using the script file which assumes
        your logged on.  What did you use to log on?  Did you leave the
        the communications package and leave the connection active?

By the way:
SAS under OS/2 is very very impressive and both are easy to use (except for
those script files).

Hello Net,
We have begun to make our 3490E drives available to the general
user community (square tapes) and are being asked about the amt
of footage files use ... I know these drives employ some sort of
compression, but is this nailed down?  We have been told that the
expanded square tapes are 1100 ft and when running TAPELABEL it
will report (for example) that we have used over 1600 feet ...
what gives?  Any nice method of computing this?  (the IBM manual
on this is less than helpful)
Thanks in advance...

Strictly speaking, I don't know. But it was within the last 6 or 8
months that I upgraded to SunOS 4.1.2. I called SI Tech support to
ask the same question as Evan's regarding 4.1.2, and Tech support
said they had no machines running SAS under 4.1.2 (yet) and to let them
know if I had any problems (I haven't).

We are being advised here to hold off on using Solaris V2.0. Here is
the text that our systems people sent us (has nothing to do with SAS).

I should add that I maintain my own Sun system, and have no system
administrator training, so this note is clearly directed at people
like me.

Alert Alert Alert!
Use Solaris V2.0 at your own risk!
Attention Sun Users:
  Integrating Solaris V2.0 printers with existing BSD-based Sun
networks may require system administrator training.
  SunOS V4.1.3 is expected to be released in Aug./Sept. timeframe and
Solaris V2.0.1 is expected to be released in Dec.Jan. timeframe.
  We therefore recommend upgrades to V4.1.3, then Solaris V2.1.1 for
production environments.

Both yes and no! The configuration is so, that we run our jobs on a
HP9000/845 with rather limited mag.disk space. The epoch is accessed
via NFS. The epoch itself has 2 mag.disks and a jukebox, which mount
the optical disks. It is therefore difficult to measure where a given
delay has its source.
The local rule of thumb are:
 Batch-processing: You will never notice the difference.
 Interactive: Move your files to the local harddisk.

Well, I'm no Howard, but:

  proc sql;
    select * from org
    group by idno
    having count(idno) > 1
    ;
  quit;

will mimic Ray's solution except that if the records are PURE
duplicates, each IDNO will be printed only once.  If the records are
only duplicates with respect to IDNO but other variables differ, the
above SQL code will list ALL the records for each IDNO having duplicate
values.  If there is more than one key, the code, like Ray's, would have
to be expanded.  It wasn't clear to me exactly how extensive the
duplicate record situation was.

Hey SAS-Lers!

Response to:  +  7435	formchar help
[44] RIKARD%VCUMVS.BITNET   (Pete)

The FORMCHAR= option was designed long before most most modern
printers were.  It was designed for certain old IBM printers such
as the 6670.  For many modern printers, there is no FORMCHAR=
string that will produce a pretty table.  You will have to
generate the table and then post-process it to get nice lines.  I
do not know of any convenient way to do this, but I am sure it
can be done.

In release 6.07 form MVS, CMS, and VMS, PROC DISCRIM prints squared
distances, F values, and p-values.  The MAHALANOBIS option in CANDISC
in version 5 will also print this information.  Example:

data a;
   do i = 1 to 50;
      x1 = normal(7);
      x2 = normal(7);
      x3 = normal(7);
      c  = floor(1 + 3 * uniform(7));
      output;
      end;
   run;

proc discrim distance;
   var x1-x3;
   class c;
   run;

Subject:      Map digitizing question
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Hi SASologists,

  I'm trying to convert a file of zip codes defined by single x,y points to
  a SAS map dataset.  I have Technical Report A-107, but they start with a
  file of hand-created line segment numbers and single-use points.  Since
  this file has about 208,000 points, I'm not overly fond of doing this the
  same way ;).

  Does anyone have a sample program that will do this already?  That is,
  given a set of x,y coordinates and a polygon id (eg, zipcode), create a
  list of line segments with unique ids and a single-use file of line
  segment #s.  It isn't that straightforward as the two x,y pairs describing
  a line segment could be flipped but still represent the same line.

  Hope this is clearer to the reader than the writer...

  Thanks in advance!

     Our site has recently installed and implemented IBM's new
     Book Manager, an online manual system.  All their manuals shipped
     with new software will be distributed in this way.  That's not to
     say you can't get manuals anymore, but this new systems is so slick
     that I'll never use a paper manual again if I don't have to...what
     impressed me the most was it's ability to interface with SDSF (MVS
     display facility for spool/print datasets):  Placing your cursor on
     a message in the console log, for example, and invoking a PFkey
     that invokes Book Manager, will take you *directly* to the manual
     that explains that message.  Not to mention the waste, in both
     productivity and earth resources, that having manuals online will
     prevent.

     Speaking of manuals, I was working on a SAS problem yesterday
     that caused a pile of 5 manuals on my desk, all open to the
     page I was consulting.  While I have no beef against SAS
     documentation per se, wouldn't it be great to have it all
     ONLINE?  With indexes (a Book Manager feature) , so you can search
     entire 'sets' of manuals for all existing verbage on a feature?
     IBM, I'm told, has left a door open for third-party documentation.
     Anyone heard how SAS is going to react to this?  Surely all the
     manuals are already in machine-readable format.....

Ray Pass responded with a method that works, but does not print the
first record in the by-group.  If you want to see all records within
the duplicated group use
    proc sort data=ORIG;
      by IDNO;
    run;

    data DUPS;
      set ORIG;
        by IDNO;
      if not (first.IDNO and last.IDNO);
    run;

    proc print data=DUPS;
    run;
I'm sure this trick has been rediscovered many times, but I first
learned it from Grant Blank.

Or, in SQL (no sorting necessary), use
    proc sql;
      select     *
      from       ORIG
      group by   IDNO
      having     count(*) > 1;
    quit;
This will print automatically.

Note!  This is not standard SQL.  It takes advantage of the SAS
"re-merging" enhancement, which joins the IDNO's satisfying the HAVING
clause with the data set ORIG.  You don't have to worry about this
unless you try to use this program outside of SAS (such as in ORACLE).

This is a simple problem, if you know the LAST variable in the data vector.
And if you want to take the time to sort it.

PROC SORT;
 BY _ALL_;
DATA dups;
 SET;
 BY _ALL_;
 if not (first.Z and last.Z); * Where Z is the last variable ;
run;

I tested this on VM/CMS version 6.07 of SAS.

      I've RTFM'd until I'm blue in the face, and have come up empty.
      I'm quite sure the answer is right in front of me, but.....

      I have a 4-byte packed decimal field representing time in
      HH:MM:SSS.  Have tried all sorts of gyrations of INPUT and
      PUT functions, to no avail.  I'd like to convert it into  a
      SAS time value.  Can someone enlighten me?

Yes, SAS will be supported under Solaris 2.  It will be probably available
to the general public next summer.  I'm hoping to get a alpha/beta copy
this fall to test.  I will post when I get it some results.

FYI, Sun Unix people: I have pre-FCS version of SAS 6.09 which we are
testing.  We are having some success with the ACCESS products to
Sybase and Oracle.  Improvements are being made to OpenWindows problems.
Will send an update on this later when more results are in.

I always create a format using :

proc format;
value recode
1='1st' 2='second'
;
run;

If I have a long list of values to format or the values are stored in
an external file, can I use data step to create the format so that I
need not type the values in proc format ?  What I have in mind is
something like :

data a;
input x $;
n+1;
some SAS statements;
cards;
1st
second
;
run;

From this I hope to create recode. format.

I am using SAS 6.06 on VM/CMS.
All suggestions are welcomed.  Thanks.

Subject:      CMS sas6.07 will not read MVS 6.06 export

We recently found that TAPE export files sent from MVS sites using
SAS 6.06 cannot be read into SAS 6.07 TS301 running on VM/CMS.  The
error message is: Invalid or missing READ passord on member foo.bah.data.
SI is aware and has internal usage note: V6-SYS.SASIO.4691.

The bug is SAS 6.07 on CMS not sas 6.06 on MVS.  The workaround is to read
the data from tape using SAS 6.06 then read the disk datasets with sas 6.07.
Details...call SI tech support.
an fyi.
