Re: &&&&&&
Talbot, Its basic macro aper math. With each pass of the macro processor it reduces && to &. in yoru case: %put &&mlv&mlin. = &&&&&&mlv&mlin. ; 1st pass: &mlv5 = &&&mlv5 2nd Pass: Daisy = &Daisy 3rd Pass : Daisy = Yellow Toby Dunn From: Talbot Michael Katz <topkatz@MSN.COM> Reply-To: Talbot Michael Katz <topkatz@MSN.COM> To: SAS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: &&&&&& Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 13:38:44 -0400 Received: from malibu.cc.uga.edu ([128.192.1.103]) by MC8-F21.hotmail...

Alan, I seem to have started a hail storm here and I probably should have stated earlier that I don't disagree with SCL or a rework of the code, but rather building and then sending the code out to a temp file and then %including it back in I like not.

Re: &&&&&& #11
Michael, Where were you when I needed you? Just how long have you kept that naughty question bottled up where it cannot see the light of day? How many others harbor that naughty question? Well, all of you got some answers today. Some technically perfect regurgitations of the SAS documentation without a care about consequences which those who don't like to read for themselves will find somewhat useful. Some sagely suggesting that some newer SAS Constructs might be worth investigating, and, indeed, there may be something worth examining about your approach to solving problems when you t...

Re: &&&&&& #12
Talbot, From another message you already seem satisfied with the information given about your problem, but I will add my penny thoughts for they give a different point of view. The basic question might be interpreted as, "Why does it take so many ampersands to express 'daisy=yellow'?" The implied question might be what is wrong with my structure and how should it be fixed? I am interested in both. A macro variable can be thought of as a name pointing at a value. So a name can point at a name that can point at a value, etc. Let's look at the problem by analogy. Suppo...

Re: &&&&&& #10
Thank you, Toby et al for your answers, opinions, advice, criticism, etc. I almost think I'm beginning to get it. Let me regurgitate this to be sure: Given &&&&&&mlv&mlin., I resolve &mlin. = 5 and reduce the &&&&&& to &&& to get &&&mlv5. Then I resolve &mlv5. = DAISY and reduce the && to & to get &DAISY. Finally I resolve &DAISY. = YELLOW. So, it looks to me like once I reach a stage where I have a string of ampersands followed by a "pure" name (i.e., one with no ampersa...

Re: &&&&&& #13
Bold=Ian Whitlock Faint Italics=Joe Whitehurst A macro variable can be thought of as a name pointing at a value. A named scl list item can be thought of as a name pointing at a value. So a name can point at a name that can point at a value, etc. So a named scl list item can be thought of as a named scl list item that can point at a named scl list item that can point at a named scl list item that can point at a value which can continue to whatever level of abstraction you wish without ever using any concatenated ampersands. Let's look at the problem by analogy. Suppose you go to a pa...

Re: &&&&&& #6
This is a prime example I use when I discuss what is wrong with the macro language. Yes, you can figure it out but an alternative would be to simply write your data step code out and then bring it back in so you know what is being submitted. data _null_ ; file 'c:\myfile.sas' ; put 'data ...;' ; ...more put statements... run; %include 'c:\myfile.sas' ; Others will argue for SCL or something else. Regardless, this application probably requires a complete rethink if you are using 6 ampersands. Thanks, Alan Savian "Bridging SAS and Microsoft Technologies...

Re: &&&&&& #2
Alan, I disagree with that statement. I think the best solution would be to build the dang thing the way he want with less macros. By sending your code out then back in is in MO to much hassel for too little. the whole thingy could be done like this: data one ; flower = 'Daisy' ; color = 'Yellow' ; run ; data two ; set one ; call symput ( compress('text'||_n_),compbl(flower||'='||color) ) ; call symput ( 'index' , compress(_n_) ) ; run ; %put &&text&index ; Toby Dunn From: Alan Churchill <SASL001@SAVIAN.NET> Reply-To: A...

MIT Kerberos KDC & W2K Client: Changing expired password issueMIT Kerberos KDC & W2K Client: Changing expired password issue
Hi, I also experienced the same problem as William G.Zereneh (http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/2004-May/005341.html). I'm able to change the password using ctrl-alt-del, but when the password is expired and windows asks me to change the password, I encountered "Domain MIT.REALM.COM is not available" error. As I sniff the packet, it noticed that it sent a CLDAP query message with filter: (&(DnsDomain = MIT.REALM.COM)(Host = myhostname)(NtVer=\006) which is returned NULL by my _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.REALM.MIT.COM How to resolve this problem ? maybe there's a missin...

Rebuilding... Over & over &over &over...
Does anyone know what would cause an assembly to keep rebuilding over & over after every move I make? After every mate, axis inserted, or sketch editied, it rebuilds & rebuilds ten to fifteen times for one or two minutes. It took me ten minutes to position three parts in a small assembly of a mold. It seems to be rebuilding the same part over & over. This mold has three main parts & about ten pieces of hardware (pins, bushings, etc...), so it should not take more than a couple of seconds to rebuild. Could a circular reference cause this? If so, how would I find it? Maybe ...

& versus &&
When I use &, I get the following message: "Use && instead of & as the AND operator in (scalar) conditional statements." I wanted to compare two vectors element by element, as well write a conditional statement for just one of the elements of one of the vectors (i.e., solution1(13)>=0 & solution1~=solution2). If I use &&, I can't compare the two vectors as a whole, i.e., element by element. On a simple test I performed, it seemed that & worked fined for writing a conditional statement for just one of the elements. I hope I'm makin...
