Subject:      Graphics file output problem on 6.07 under VMS
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.bitnet

Dear Fellow SAS Users,

I just tried to use SAS 6.07 for the first time and immediately ran into a
problem. I usually put graphs into a file and then print them on our laser
printer and wanted to see if this process worked OK. This is what I put in

data one;do i=1 to 100;x=round(5*normal(0))/5;output;end;run;
title 'Normal Distribution';
goptions device=ps300 gsfname='ps3.gsf' gsfmode=replace nodisplay;
proc gchart;vbar x;pattern1 v=e;
run;
endsas;

and this is (most of) the log file

 NOTE: Copyright(c) 1989 by SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC USA.
 NOTE: SAS (r) Proprietary Software Release 6.07  TS301

 NOTE: Running on VAX Model 9000-110 Serial Number 0E8311FE.


  Welcome to the new SAS System, Release 6.07.


 1          data one;do i=1 to 100;x=round(5*normal(0))/5;output;end;run;

 NOTE: The data set WORK.ONE has 100 observations and 2 variables.

 2          title 'Normal Distribution';
 3          goptions device=ps300 gsfname='ps3.gsf' gsfmode=replace nodisplay;
 4          proc gchart;vbar x;pattern1 v=e;
 5          run;

 NOTE:  63 RECORDS WRITTEN TO ps3.gsf.
 6          endsas;

However there is no ps3.gsf file and the system actually sends the output to
the screen. I tried "gsfname=ps3" (which is what I used to use with 6.06 and
happily produced "ps3.gsf") with the same result.

Our library hasn't put the manuals in the Reserve collection and so they are
all out on loan so I can't RTFM in this case. Any suggestions welcomed.

Using SAS 6.07 on VMS

Subject: Insert key on IBM RS/6000
Date: 5 Oct 92 21:40:24 GMT
Organization: Department of Mathematics, Boston University, Boston

The computing center at Boston University has recently installed SAS on
an IBM RS/6000 running IBM's AIX version of Unix.  When using the SAS
editor with the fsdevice ascii.vt100 [we are logging into this machine
from PC's], we are unable to find a key that will toggle the insert mode.
  
I have run SAS on a SUN Unix system and the CTRL-x key toggles insert
mode, but this does not work on the IBM. Does anyone have any idea what
the key combination for insert mode is?  Are there any other ways to
do this [change fsdevice driver, program a key in keys window etc.]?

Any help would be appreciated.

Need contacts of individuals in the KCASUG that Program in SAS for
the NOTIS Library System.  I think we may be able to help each other.
    The SAS Notis programmer is a bet different than the normal SAS

CONTENT: Response, actually another question
SUMMARY: Using FSEDIT and SAS ASSIST
REL/PLTF: 6.07/VMS
E-ADDR:  a_millardgd@ccsvax.sfasu.edu
NAME:    Glenn Millard

  I thought of the MIN/MAX field attributes just after I sent the message.
The INFORMAT rather than the FORMAT may cure part of the other problem
I'm looking at.
  One thing I did not mention but is related to it is this. When I'm teaching
graduate students or faculty how to enter their data with FSEDIT I usually
go through SAS/ASSIST to show them how to create the data set. It is
straightforward and simple, I try not to confuse them. One thing about using
ASSIST though is you cannot, as for as I know, use a custom FSEDIT screen
with it. Without using a custon screen you cannot use the MIN/MAX field
attributes and get them to stay around for the next time you enter more data.
It would be nice if you could setup custom FSEDIT screens through ASSIST.
If anyone know how to do this let me know, otherwise might this be a
candidate for the SAS Software Ballot?

 My other question is a repeat from before. With PROC CONTENTS can you tell
 what kind a number you are dealing with if you only have the length to go
 by, no FORMAT or INFORMAT was specified?

We have had the same problem under HP-UX. I dont understand much of

Could you have used:

instead of creating a variable (which)??

Hallo,

this application can be solved with the random function RANUNI within
a data step of SAS, i.e.:

            data selectio (drop=which);
              set previo;
              which = round(ranuni(0),1); /* reduces nearly 50 pct, uniform
-*/
              if which;
            run;

On a huge dataset is it - pherhaps - meaningful to create a WHICH variable
in a seperate data step, and then are the random's to select with a WHERE
clause within one succeeded SAS data step.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that could be applied for generating of random selections from a SAS
dataset, and it works within a %macro, like this (the formula is not proofed):
                                                  --------------------------

       %macro selectio (in,out,pct);
          data &in;
            set &out;
            if &pct < 90 then if round(log(0.66-1/(0.01*&pct-1))*ranuni(0),1);
          run;
       %mend selectio;

       %selectio(priev,reduce,30);

and a random selection by nearly 30 pct is produced.

I have got a large dataset (600+ variables) that each record is linked
back to another record in the same dataset via another link file.

Link
 Key 1
 Key 2

Megaset
 Key
 billions and billions of variables (in best Carl Sagan voice) ;-)

I would like to create a view that builds that record complex, but
when I tried that, the resulting view had duplicate variable names.
Since I am trying to find and count the differences between the two
records in Megaset, I need to know how to go about renaming the variables
in at least one of the two records.

Am I stuck putting in 600+

 ,m2.var    as m2var

statements in the select clause?

Mental thanks for the pre-bandwidth!

Dear Colleague:

We are writing to ask for your assistance.  We hope to identify
a person or persons who might have interest in being considered
for a position on our faculty in school psychology under the
university's Faculty Diversity Plan.  Under this plan, funds
have been designated for recruitment of ethnic minorities and
women.  We hope to identify women or individuals of either
gender who are of minority status who might be considered under
this program.  Potential candidates can be considered at any
rank.

We hope to identify a small pool of potential candidates who
evidence strong promise for success in scholarship, teaching,
and leadership in school psychology.  If you are aware of any
potential candidates, please forward their names (and addressed
and phone numbers if available) to us.  We would also
appreciate a copy of a vita if you have a potential candidate's
permission to send us one.

We do need to emphasize that we have not been authorized to
advertise a faculty position in school psychology and that no
such position exists at this time.  The likelihood that we can
be successful in creating a faculty line will depend, in part,
on the strength of a potential candidate who might have
interest in joining our faculty.

Thank you for your assistance.

Does anyone have any information on the National Diffusion Network
or Smartline.  As I understand it, the National Diffusion Network is
currrently working, while Smartline will be developed this spring.
A goal of both networks is to disseminate educational/research
information electronically.  I don't know much beyond that, but would
appreciate any information anyone might have regarding these two
networks.

Thank you,
