Hi,
In the US, I used EPI lots and I was very pleased with it.  Since I moved
herewith in hurry, I didn't check if there is distributer of EPI in Europe.
Please let me know if someone knows where I can get EPI in France.  If
possible I want to have a manual written in French.

Thanks in advance.

*******************************************************************
David was trying to use DATA steps to write multiple SAS datasets
in transport format to disk. Only the LAST dataset written remained
(see note below).

The key is the DISP=OLD processing that SAS is doing. SAS writes
each new transport dataset at the beginning of the file. Change
either the DISP= to DISP=MOD or add the MOD  parameter to the
libname statement. Then SAS will write each new dataset at the
end of the current file.

Am I supposed to be able to write an MVS SAS transport *library* to

I thought it was as simple as allocating the transport library
and writing numerous members (type "data") to it.

But after I run something like:

 //YR2 DD DSN=YEAR2,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
 .

 //YR8 DD DSN=YEAR8,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD

Your comment (re 4mb/hr) is well taken. I didn't really mean to *hiss and
moan* about FTP transfer rates: there are much, much worse fates that can
befall an honest man/woman in this line of business.

After several inquiries, my best guess is that the target system lacked
sophisticated comms systems. That is their problem (or will be after I
send them a little more data).

Actually, I feel privileged to be able to FTP/TELNET (potentially) to any of
thousands of nodes worldwide. Makes sliced bread look trivial (seriously!).
Even better after it gets faster, tho.

Here's some more interesting stuff on proc freq:

when your char-var is greater than 16 chars and you want to see the whole
var, you can create an SSD with proc FREQ and then print it. This does *not*
get around the issue of uniqueness in the first 16 characters that the List
has been talking about recently.

DATA LONGNAME;
  length Char_Var $ 17;
  <input, set, whatever. . .>;

proc FREQ;
  tables Char_Var / /*missing*/ out = FREQ_SSD noprint;

DATA  FREQ_SSD;
  set FREQ_SSD;
  retain CumCount CumPcent 0;
  CumCount + Count;
  CumPcent + Percent;

"The second" list he talks of is EMITS.  It was my understanding when it

that no longer true?

Nope.  One user ID was (past tense!) listed on the 'SAS-L@VTVM2' mailing-list
but the ID is no longer valid on the DUKEMC (MC.DUKE.EDU) system.

Properly-behaved mailers will return any "bounced" E-mail to the list-owner
of the SAS-L mailing-list.  The mailer at DUKEMC misbehaves!  :-)

You can easily run a 1 sample Hoetellings T**2 using:

  PROC GLM;
    MODEL Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4=;

however Hoetellings is also a nice "starter problem" to work through via
PROC IML (assuming your site has SAS/IML). Sample SAS/IML code for that
test, complete with a little sample dataset, appears below.

I make no claim to the robustness of the SAS/IML solution shown for real,
live, messy data (since this morning's unrelated project is to port some
current SAS/IML code over to Mathematica for a user who has just recently
learned that no, SAS/IML doesn't do all of its calculation in infinite
precision and yes, roundoff/truncation/overflow are all nasty problems for
some numerical procedures which looked so clean in matrix form, now aren't
they?).

  ===================================================================
                  Potential Agricultural Statistics
                  Section Seeks Member's Support

      Several members of the American Statistical Association (ASA)
   have expressed an interest in forming a Section centered around
   agricultural statistics.  One of the most vital prerequisites
   to official recognition as a Section is the gathering of
   signatures from 100 ASA full members who would agree to join
   the Section if it were formed.   So far only 95 signatures have
   been collected.   If interested, please sign the petition form
   below and mail it to me as soon as possible.  Please make every
   effort to bring this petition into the attention of those who
   might be interested at your institution.

   ==================================================================

      I, the undersigned member of the American Statistical Association,
   wish to form a Section on Agricultural Statistics, whose broad
   objectives would be to offer a forum to statisticians to present
   and discuss statistical approaches for agricultural research data.
   I recognize that the establishment of a Section will require
   preparation of a suitable charter, annual business meetings,
   selection of officers, and the payment of section dues.

Not that it is likely to help the person who asked
how to do moving averages in SAS, but there appears
to be a PROC in SAS/QC which will calculate
moving averages. I say this because there are lots
of references to moving averages in the Master Index
to SAS Documentation, and they all point to QC.

Frankly, I think moving averages are so basic that they
ought to be in Base or STAT.

I think there would be a market for a floppy-disk drive for mainframes -
something which would allow you to use JCL like:

   //OUTPUT DD DISP=NEW,UNIT=HDFLOP,DSN=MYDATA.TXT

and would write your file to a floppy (or floppies), automatically labelling
each one.

Yes.  IBM's ftp for MVS supports it.  It's documented in "IBM TCP/IP V2R2 for
MVS: User's Guide", SC31-6088-01.  Basically, you have a batch step PGM=FTP
withan INPUT DD pointing to the commands and an OUTPUT DD pointer to a printer
or print file.

I haven't tried this myself, but I have run ftp from within an interactive
SAS session, and that works.  You have to have ftp running on your PC as a
TSR.

There are some interesting applications for this.  For example, you can run
a batch job overnight which will print results to your PC printer.

Before I start up with my question (again) in detail here, many thanks to

The example for defining a new group-id from the group-order or sequence of the

                          7    3     E             7    3     D

I'll explain, what I wanted: the group-values (A,B,D) from old data set OLD
classifies groups in the order: 1th is A and 2nd is B and 3th is D, and so on
(with traps, i.e C is lost). In the next calculation-step obtain ids new
values (B,C,E) and the variable X and Y intervalues. But every id-group
is unique classified (with other values and another sequence). The desired
data set NEW should have the id-values from the old one with its sequence.

With other words: the first group in NEW obtains the first id-value from OLD,
and the second group abtains the 2nd id-value from OLD, and so on to the
Nth group.

The start/end-values of X, Y from a group in the old and new are not always
the same, and a sorting by X or Y is not permited but by id possible.

When it is found a solution with SAS, then I will post it to the list,
where tips are grateful welcome.

Sorry, guy!  That is your local package.  For instance, when I got your
message, the title was, "Important Question."  The problem is at your site,
not in SAS-L or on the Internet.

         Summary: Need a method for calculating Hotelling's T**2

         I've gotten a request for plots of Hotelling's T**2
         statistic. In searching the all the FMs I have, I couldn't
         find any reference to this statistic. Before re-inventing the
         wheel, I wanted to ask if anyone on the list has previously
         solved this problem. (or possibly someone has a reference to
         a FM that I don't have?)

         Thanks for any help you can give me.

David Nasser is moving some data from MVS to SunOS.  He mentioned 20 MB in
five hours, and asked about faster methods.  David, when we download through
terminal emulation, we get about 1.5 MB/hr, so your 4 MB/hr looks good.  We do
have a batch download running from MVS to Banyan via a Sun server--I will try
to get you the name, since it is much faster than the interactive download.

   The best I can think of is IMSL (Once upon a time, like SAS, these
   letters stood for something - International Mathematical Subroutine
   Library, I think - now they don't).  This package is (or seems to be)
   available for almost every machine from pcs to supercomputers.
   You might cntact them through:

     IMSL
     Customer Relations
     2500 ParkWest Tower One
     2500 CityWest Blvd.
     Houston, Texas   77042-3020

     Telephone  (713) 782-6060

There are a number of other packages as well.
