a macro.  Any comments, workarounds, me-toos?

Comments: To: SAS-L@uga.cc.uga.edu

I've just completed duplicating regression runs on identical data sets using
JMP and SAS (6.06). Although the results are identical, the sign of the
coefficient of the dummy variable is reversed. Could someone please explain
what could lead to this.
Thanks

2400ft * 12 inches per ft * 6,250 bytes per inch * 10 E-6 megabytes per byte

   = 180 megabytes  ( but should allow some space for tape labels, reel not
                        being exactly 2400 feet long, etc.)

    thus, actual capacity somewhat less than 180 megabytes of data.

Below is macro _EXECVAR which I use to do repetitive processing from
an SSD with one char-var with SAS statements in it.

The basic usage is to prepare some SSD with the vars that you want to
repetitive processing, in Sawders case this would probably be a proc FREQ of
some by-var. Take that SSD and create a char-var with SAS statements in it.
Call _EXECVAR with the parms SSD and char-var-name and SAS will will read the
SSD as a stack of commands.

For Sawders, this would get him his PROC FORMS code with the necessary
restart.

options MPRINT;

DATA DATA1;
  do i = 1 to 5;   chr = put(i,z2.);
                   n = i**2;
                   output;
                                                                   end;

Hi again
Is there a way in which the default title that SAS uses can be changed. I have
looked at that various internal options and the closest I have found is
LOGNOTE1 which is set to 'The SAS system' same as the default title but doesn't
seem to affect the title when changed.

Machiko,

I duplicated your data and program but could not duplicate your problem.
This suggests to me that the record delimiter in your input file may be
giving you the problem. Perhaps your systems folks could give you some more
insight that would help you tell SAS just how the data are delimited.
I hope I'm not just stating the obvious.

Regards,
Bob

Dear SAS-L,
..
I would like to be able to evaluate the following integral within SAS
for a model I'm working on:

     / x
    |      (x-t) phi(t, mu, sigma) dt
   /  -inf
..
where phi(t, mu, sigma) is the normal density function, and therefore

     / x
    |      phi(t, mu, sigma) dt  is the normal distribution.
   /  -inf
..
Is there a SAS Function (or expression) that will give me the values that
I'm looking for?
..
A *VERY* crude approximation of this function is

     / x
    |      (x-t) delta(t-mu) dt
   /  -inf
..
which, in SAS, is just MAX(0,x-mu).  But there must be a better solution
that's still easy to compute.  Any suggestions?
..
Thanks in advance.

NESUG does not have a member list of individuals because the members of NESUG
are the affiliated local SUGs.  In terms of being notified about future
conferences, this happens in numerous ways.  It will certainly be on SAS-L
and NESUG-L many times in mid 1993.  SAS Institute will also do mass mailings
for NESUG.  The mailing lists used for these mailings will come from three
sources:
        a) the SAS Communications mailing list for the northeast region
        b) NESUG affiliated local SUG mailing lists
        c) NESUG supplied lists of past attendees at NESUG conferences.

This is one of the ways that SI supports NESUG and all other chartered
regional groups as well (along with publishing our proceedings, providing
some speakers and Institute personal to man the SI exhibits in the vendor
area, etc).  ALL the rest of the work involved in planning and putting on the
conference, and this is a year-long intensive effort, is user contributed.
If this sounds like another plea to users to get involved with regional and
local groups, it is.  See you in Springfield.

Ray

Do you use a FAX96 or similar board?  Have you figured out a DEVICE
and GOPTIONS combination that directs SAS to generate a file you can
then download and fax directly?  If you, please let me know.  Thanks!

I use Fremont Communications' FAX96 fax board.  Its manual says it
can send a TIF, PCX, or EPSON-510 ECL file, or a flat ASCII text file.
It's quite effective with PCX, ECL, or TXT files, but SAS/GRAPH doesn't
appear to have device drivers for any of those.
For TIF files, the SAS/GRAPH driver produces a file that starts with
the text "II*", but neither FAX96 nor WordPerfect recognize it as a
valid TIF header. I would be grateful for ideas on how to proceed.

I posted a query about this to the list a few weeks ago.  The replies
I received reported similiar results--little difference between these
two buses.

Somewhere in the midst of this, I recalled that the current implementa-
tion of SAS under OS/2 is a 16-bit app.  Could this explain why there
is so little apparent performance difference between EISA/SCSI & AT/IDE?

Comments from more hardware-aware types than I would be appreciated!

I would like to run a t-test on the weights of bags of seeds to see if
they are equal to 100 lbs.  I have RTFM'ed and couldn't find out how.
A standard t-test compares the means of two groups, and if I let one
group be all 100 lbs, it would throw the standard deviation off.  Proc
Univariate will compare the mean of a variable to zero, and I thought of
subtracting 100 from the actual weights of the bags, but I wonder what
this would do to the standard deviation.

If anyone has any ideas for me I would appreciate hearing from you.

The blocking factor is quite important.  Short blocks may take less space
on the tape than the inter-block gap used to separate the data blocks.

Also, VMS can write blocks much larger than 2048 bytes. We routinely use
16K+ blocks for our disk backups. I think the maximum supported block
size is 32K (or thereabouts).

Most of our machines now use 8mm or 4mm cartridge tape because of their
smaller size and greater capacity. Half inch 9trk tape will be with us
for a long time, however, because it's easily interchanged between sites.
And most software is still distributed on 9 track.

Yes.  There are formats which do exactly that.  Such as
the words and fractions formats.  RTFM.  But not the DOS FM.
They're not in there.

Subject:      linkable graphics driver

One month ago I posted a question to SAS-L but got no answer.
Therefor I'll try it again.
I am installing SAS 6.07 under AIX RS/6000 and for graphics
device I want to use the linkable graphics driver.
(Under MVS we use this device for a long time.)
Does anybody know how to use the file LINKABLE.FTN or has
any documentation?
Many thanks in advance       Carina Ortseifen

Yes, in SAS you do just that.  This takes some programming.  It is
not canned.  Please read about random number generation in SAS,
output file generation in PROC LOGIST, and prediction using
missing values for dependent variables.  I have done lots of
bootstrapping in SAS, but it takes some work.

Here is a basic algorithm

DATA REALD;
     SET REALD;
     NCNT=_N_;
RUN;
DATA BOOTSAMP;
     DO BOOTS=1 TO B;                  * Number of boot reps ;
        DO J=1 TO N;                   * Number of cases in each rep;
           NCNT=CEIL(UNIFORM(982983)*N);
           OUTPUT;
        END;
     END;
RUN;
PROC SORT DATA=BOOTSAMP;
     BY NCNT;
RUN;

DATA MATCH;
     MERGE BOOTSAMP REALD;
     BY NCNT;
RUN;
PROC SORT DATA=MATCH;
     BY BOOTS;
RUN;
PROC LOGIST;
     MODEL ....;
     BY BOOTS;
RUN;

In some cases, you may need to write output to files, and read the fiels
with subsequent SAS steps to obtain the values for certain statistics.
