Subject: Losing weighted values in conversion...

I tried to convert a SPSS system file to a SAS dataset. The SPSS system has
been weighted to adjust the different between the sample and general population
before conversion. When I converted the file to SAS dataset by using the SPSS
engine on LIBNAME statement, it works fine. But the values of each variable in
SAS dataset were carrying the original values before the weighting procedure.
I checked the SPSS system file that I used for the conversion, it carrys all
the weighted frequencies. I just couldn't get it converted to a weighted SAS
dataset :-(

Any suggestion in solving this puzzle will be highly appreciated.

Subject:      Social Security # Range
Comments: To: sas-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu

Does anyone know the range of allowable Social Security Numbers.  I don't
think numbers like 000-00-0008 or 999-99-9000 are real Social Security
Numbers, but I'm not sure.

The SAS format SSN. does not seem to check for validity; I could not get the
format to set the _error_ variable on the above SSN's.

I tried calling Social Security, but their lines seem to stay busy.

Subject:      MVS Clist problem solved

SASlers,

     You may vaguely remember a problem posted on SAS-L about 3
months ago dealing with user created clists.  The problems been
resolved and a usage note (V6-SYS.SYS 5380) written and this is
just FYI.   Here is my summary of the problem and the fix:

     In V 6.07 under MVS, a clist calling SAS with the LOG and PRINT
operands to data sets may cause the log and list output to be routed
to a single file, if the two data sets are identical except for the
last level.  For example this code would produce the problem:
(wrong)
     SAS PRINT('''userid.OUTPUT''') LOG('''userid.OUTPUT.LOG''')

     As shown above, one data set name is completely contained in
the other. Therefore, both the log and list output would be sent
to 'userid.OUTPUT.LOG'.

     To circumvent this from happening:
(right)
     SAS PRINT('''userid.OUTPUT.LIST''') LOG('''userid.OUTPUT.LOG''')

     Having PRINT point to 'userid.OUTPUT.LIST' and LOG point to
'userid.OUTPUT.LOG' would avoid the problem.

     NOTE: this problem is fixed in Version 6.08.

Subject:      HPGL driver for SAS/PC 6.04 and HP LJ IIIp
Comments: To: SAS Discussion List <sas-l@uga.cc.uga.edu>

SAS has written a procedure for creating a driver to use with HP
LaserJet III printers under versions 6.03/6.04 of SAS/Graph software.
The technical note to create this driver is on the SAS ftp site.


Has anyone gotten this driver to work successfully?  How about with
an HP LJIIIp printer?  The driver is designed to print graphics using
the optional HP graphics plotter language (HPGL) rather than the
default PCL5 printer language.  It doesn't work on my printer:
sometimes nothing prints at all, other times just gibberish.  I
called SAS tech support and got someone who really wasn't familiar
with the situation and was essentially no help.

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      reflections on: How to skip variables in SAS

Andrew Karp provided a neat answer for Haiyi Xie's problem of selecting
just a few variables from a raw data file which will be converted into   few
a SAS data set in subequent data analyses, namely:
                                                                         for
DATA CLASS(KEEP=POP71 POP75-POP77 POP85);
   INFILE SOC631.DAT LRECL=320;
        INPUT   #1
                #2 (POP70-POP85)  (16*20.)
                #3
                #4
                #5
                #6
                #7
                #8
                #9
                #10
                #11
                #12 ;
                        RUN;

    Being unable to resist being my usual picky self, I point out
    that the following will work as well:

DATA CLASS(KEEP=POP71 POP75-POP77 POP85);
   INFILE SOC631.DAT LRECL=320;
   INPUT  #2 (POP70-POP85)  (16*20.)
          #12 ;
RUN;

     The #n tells SAS to move a pointer to line n;  SAS takes the
     largest value of n to appear in the INPUT stmnt to be the number of
     of lines per case.  In addition, within the n records for a case
     one may move the pointer backward and forward at will, as long as
     the #n (where n is the number of records per case) appears
     somewhere in the stmnt.

    Therefore the following works, too:

DATA CLASS(KEEP=POP71 POP75-POP77 POP85);
   INFILE SOC631.DAT LRECL=320;
   INPUT  #12  #2 (POP70-POP85)  (16*20.);
RUN;

    In principle (al?) this code should be trivially more efficient
    than the original code, for moving the pointer 12 times must take
    a little longer than moving it 2 times - but I would be amazed
    if the savings would be noticeable for anything but a truly
    enormous dataset.  Thus my suggestion is really only trivially
    different from Andrew's.  My hope is that it spotlights the
    mechanism a little better, that's all.


    I imagine Andrew knows all this and didn't want to unnecessarily
    complicate a reply to a beginner (makes sense to me!), but, as I
    said, I couldn't resist, and Haiyi Xie already has Andrew's
    uncomplicated answer.

Dear SAS'ers,

We got a problem here. In v5 PROC LOGIST a model with censored data
appears to be running fine (it converges). When we rerun these
models in v6's PROC LOGISTIC, the model does not converge. Are there
parameters which have a different meaning between these two PROC's we

The most frustrating thing about SAS Display Manager is having unmatched
quotes in  submitted lines and  not being able  to recover. Often  I use
BYE to quit, and then restart SAS (6.07).

How do I avoid that?  Is there a command-line command that
"refreshes" ?  Lately, I noticed that single-quotes in comments like:
 %* PROC SORT That's already done previously. ;
cause problems too.

Greetings all...

Here's a quick update to the benchmark results I posted a few weeks ago. A
few more platforms have been added. Thanks to those who ran the code on
their machines.

Quick aside: Yes, I know there is a "big science" to benchmarks, and that
the short code I (and many others before me) have been using is not a bad
barometer of performance.

The readability of text in the Display Manager windows under SAS release 6.04 
on LCD screens can be enhanced by using the right screen driver.
The best thing to do is create a file named CONFIG.SAS in the directory from 
which you start SAS. 
Be careful if there's already a CONFIG.SAS file in any directories specified 
by a DOS PATH command or int the root ofdirectory. Then you must first copy it to 
the current directory. Then add the following line:
-fsedvice            
 
-fsdevice sasxdcpa 
 
This invokes a special screen driver for LCD and plasma screens. If you still have problems then read pp. 205-208 of 'Technical Report: P-171, Changes and 
enhancements to Base SAS Software for Personal Computers, Release 6.03 (1987).

     Dear SAS-Lers:

     In regard to the recent postings of performance on various hardware/OS
     configurations:

     It might be useful to ellucidate on which release of SAS the
     benchmarks were run on. When refering to specific X86 systems, it
     might be useful to specify the manufacturer, and in the case of intel
     cpu's, the exact designation (SX, SL, DX, DX2, OverDrive, Coprocessor)
     as performance will vary... which opens up a door of opportunity for
     me to present the following:

     For purely marketing purposes, and as a tool for non-technical
     end-user consumers to judge system configurations, Intel has
     formulated am index of performance for their chips.  The "iCOMP"
     index, was formulated using the chips' frequency (Mhz), the number of
     instructions per second processed, and a series of existing technical
     benchmarks.  The result is a single number that can be used to compare
     one processor against another.

     The 25MHz Intel486 SX was arbitrarily used as the baseline for the
     index and set at 100.  This index includes a 32 bit performance
     component, to better reflect the demands placed on it over the next
     3-5 years in a typical lifespan of a system purchased today.

     This is not a "system" performance factor, but strictly rates the
     relative performance of Intel CPU's.  Applied to the previously posted
     benchmark results, the influence of disk drive access speed, bus
     configurations, OS, etc. become apparent.  This index is not intended
     for comparisons of non-intel cpus.

Subject:      PROC CATMOD on PC 6.03
Comments: To: sas-l%uga.BITNET@cornellc.cit.cornell.edu

        I'm new to the group and my first question is to anyone who has
experience using this PROC to look at categorical data.  My example is
from Fienberg, ...Cross-Classified Cat. Data...Table 6.1
My code:
data seed; input type $ treatmnt $ outcome $ numcell @; cards;
t1 h d 41
t1 h za 59
t1 l d 11                            /*t1=long leaf/ t2=slash*/
t1 l za 89                           /*treatmnt h=high l=low*/
t2 h d 12                            /*outcome d=dead za=alive*/
t2 h za 88
t2 l d 5
t2 l za 95;
proc catmod data=seed;
weight numcell;
model type * treatmnt * outcome=_response_/nogls noparm noresponse;
loglin type|treatmnt|outcome @2; run;

SAS/STAT User's Guide (REL 6.03) gives examples but doesn't explain
it very well.  Any suggestions?  I'm particularly interested in the
log linear model, looking at different interactions.  The chi square
gives me a start but I want to look deeper into the data.

Thanks in advance for any tips/suggestions.

Subject:      How to select a platform for SAS ?

Hi,

I have 'volonteerd' to write a article in our little local SAS user group's
magazine about selecting a platform for SAS. The question I want to address is
how the Hardware/Software platform to run SAS on has to be selected.

Say I have MVS, VM, RISC/6000, PC/DOS, Windows and OS/2 with SAS available,
which criteria's should be taken into account to select one of the above
platforms for a given research project.

What are your opinions on this subject ? Are there any (SAS) publications about
this subject availble in print or FTP ?

Any comments are welcome,

Regards,

Dirk

Subject:      Reordering SAS variables
Comments: To: sas-l@vtvm2.bitnet

Thanks to all who responded to my question about how to reorder
variables in a SAS dataset.  Of the techniques, Phil Gallagher's
suggestion about using the LENGTH statement is the simplest, and it
works.
