Folks,

I have set up a Mailserv that allows only one account to subscribe
others, however they can subscribe themselves (to lists). Obviously,
this was done via the file MAPPINGS., which I really don't know a whole
bunch about, but heck it works quite well.

We have VMS 5.5-1 & pmdf 4.1-7. I have attempted to subscribe
"+Disk$info:[006010.lists]bob_oct.92"@eku.bitnet to the list. It
subscribes just fine - the file is created & empty & I put World:RWE
attributes on this file.

The error that I get is below -- I will rip out the stuff at the bottom.

Thanks for any help that you can give me!!

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

Yes, there is a conversion rate.  Don't quote me I make lots of
mistakes, but according to my understanding from a phone conversation
with SAS all, or *some*, of our workstations can convert (they are
using the word "conversion" not "upgrade" :)  ).  Basically (not
taking into account time, etc.) the conversion rate will be the
difference between the renewal rate for Windows and the renewal rate
for DOS.  Thus eliminating first year fees.

No, there is no mention of Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT in
the License Fee Schedule I received and it was not discussed in
the phone conversation.  So no scuttlebut there.

Just to add further to my note.  The set I am using has got 16 MB.  
It is therefore not a memory problem.  More likely it relates to
the 32-bit graphics engine - SAS needs to come up with a new
device driver.

Another point.  Anyone knows if SAS keeps an FTP server?

Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

This semester I have the pleasure of teaching a course in
structural equations. In a recent lecture I explained to my class
the default null model used by Calis for computing Bentler-Bonnett
Normed and Non-Normed Fit measures. I explained that this is the
Chi Square fit which would result in you would input a model with
each variable loading on one factor, factor loadings fixed to one,
and factor variances free. (Or, alternatively, each variable
composed of only an error term, with error variances free- makes no
difference).
Now, as it happens, a good student decided to validate what I
claimed in class. He found that, for ML estimation, he was able
to get the null model chi square reported in calis. However, for
GLS estimation, he can't reproduce the chi square. Am I missing
something here?
What happens is that Calis generates default start values and then
goes through one interation (whereas ML correctly estimates
the std's on the first pass and then stops).
Am I missing something here? I would have thought this solvable
by inspection for both the ML and GLS cases-
Any advice/info appreciated!

I just registered for EMITS.  I got a note back with the subject "EMITS
Instructions," which includes the statement, "You must be a SAS Software
Consultant or SAS Software Representative to register."  As I understand
it, a site's SAS Software Consultant is the person to whom SAS Institute
sends the manuals for new releases.  Actually, a site may have more than
one SAS Software Consultant; it may have one for each SAS product.  The
SAS Software Consultant may call Tech. Support for help.  Often, the SAS
Software Consultant is the same person as the SAS Software Representative.
A site's SAS Software Representative is the person to whom SAS Institute
sends tapes.

Just for the record, each site also has a SAS Training Coordinator (the
person to whom SAS Institute sends information on training classes), and a
Contract Representative (the person to whom SAS Institute sends an executed
copy of the license agreement.  But the SAS Training Coordinator and the
Contract Rep. may not use EMITS.

I hope this helps.

here is an intro stats question i have recently encountered and am

if i use proc freq to do a chisq and get a table that looks like:

          1 2 4
          -----
      1 | 8 7 3
 var2 2 | 1 5 8
      6 | 1 3 3

note that some of the categories of the two variables are missing.
in reality the table looks like:


           var1
          1 2 3 4
          -------
      1 | 8 7 0 3
 var2 2 | 1 5 0 8

      4 | 0 0 0 0
      5 | 0 0 0 0
      6 | 1 3 0 3

how does one have sas take this into account - or does it even matter?

If you need to do serious design work, you really should look at
the facilities in the SAS/QC product.  The ADX menu system, PROC
FACTEX, and PROC OPTEX can be used to generate designs.  In
particular, PROC OPTEX can generate nonorthogonal designs with a
specified number of runs when the number of runs in an orthogonal
design is too large.

The SAS/STAT procedure TRANSREG can be used to run the conjoint
analysis.  SI will be putting out a technical report on conjoint
analysis soon.

SAS-L

I was in the unfortunate position of trying to sort out the hardware
software interaction for a Panasonic 123KX and DOS/SAS 6.03/6.04.
Many of you probably remember the problem.  Nice graphics in--garbage
out.  The problem was that there are a seemingly unlimited number of
goptions and drivers(software) and many, many hardware options(Epson
graphics mode, IBM graphics modes 1 and 2, etc.).  It won't take you
long to see the possible combinations create a rather large sample
set.  I posted the problem to the list and I received several helpful
hints.  They didn't completely solve the problem, but they helped me
narrow it down.  First of all, in DOS you have to print a graphics
stream file with /b option(that is print/b) for binary.  Secondly, this
is probably not the way you want to do it.  The way I've found most to
my liking is to set the goptions as follows:
GOPTIONS DEV=LQ800 GACCESS="SASGASTD>PRN";
The key here is the gaccess which you can find in the SASHELP.DEVICES
or if you have created one the GDEVICE0.DEVICES catalog.  This is the
part that threw me.  I guess I've been working with 6.07 too long.
(Actually, I now remember figuring this one out with a call to SI
several years ago, but apparently that part of memory was suffering an
addressing conflict.)  Judging from the few responses that I received
either a lot of people forgot it also or never knew it in the first place.
Either way I thought that this information would be of value.  Thanks for
those that were helpful on this problem.

Last week I inquired re FTP of transport data (15 mb), MVS to SunOS.

The _good_ news is that it worked. Due to a lack of compatible tape
drives, the only (serious) alternative was to download what turned out to be
about 20 mb to floppy disks (Cringe!).

The _not-so-good_ news is that it was sloooooooooow. Transfer rate
averaged about 1 kb/sec. Terminal session on (dialed-in) PC was
dedicated to FTP for perhaps 5 hours. Anybody ever heard of running
FTP in MVS batch??

Once again, the hidden dangers of using finite-precision base-two arithmetic
on a digital computer!  Since the value '0.0001' can **not** be stored without
"round-off", your numeric results differ from the predicted, algebraic, results.
(If you ask the computer to compute the sum of 1000 occurrences of '0.001',
the computer will **not** report a value of '1.0'.  Try it!)

I got the results you expect when I tried:

   do N_SAS = 98999. to  99001. by 0001. ,
              99999. to 100001. by 0001. ;
      SAS_N = N_SAS / 1000.0;  /* Localize the round-off error. */
   SAS_Frmt = SAS_N;

you can use the function ARSIN(argument) to calculate arcus sinus,
where the argument is between -1 and 1 and the result in radians:

               data _null_;
                 angle = atan(1);
                 y=arsin(angle);
                 put 'arc sin from ' angle best. ' is ' y best. ;
               run;
