Re: SAS Advanced Programming Exam for SAS 9: SAS Joke of the year. #7
Well Toby, let me ask something then. Since I am not an ODS fan and haven't used proc report/tabulate for some time, would that be an automatic disqualifier since you don't allow reference books or materials? SAS does not provide tools that help me code ODS (except for EG) and therefore a reference material is all I would need. Now, it's not like I haven't used proc report (used it extensively at one time), it's just that I prefer other means to produce the final output. It seems that a test like this would toss me out of the pool from the get-go. Heck, maybe that's wh...

SAS 8 and SAS 9 on the same server
I'm installing SAS 9.1.2 on a Windows 2000 server where the SAS 8 is already installed and functional. For a test period, both version should work on the same server.

I'd have two services running on Windows, each one executing one specific version of SAS. Option 2: One only Spawner service. The Spawner file would have one entry for each SAS version.

To make it useful (SAS/CONNECT to the mainframe), we had to be able to load PC-DOS (MS-DOS), SAS, and your mainframe terminal emulator with conventional memory (640 KB). We had to swap out our existing emulator for another one with a smaller footprint to make it work. I over-clocked that IBM AT with a new crystal but that is another, OT story ;-) Just to confirm and clarify, Version 5 was never released for use on personal computers. So if the data set was created on a personal computer, it had ...

Re: SAS Advanced Programming Exam for SAS 9: SAS Joke of the year. #7
Well Toby, let me ask something then. Since I am not an ODS fan and haven't used proc report/tabulate for some time, would that be an automatic disqualifier since you don't allow reference books or materials? SAS does not provide tools that help me code ODS (except for EG) and therefore a reference material is all I would need. Now, it's not like I haven't used proc report (used it extensively at one time), it's just that I prefer other means to produce the final output. It seems that a test like this would toss me out of the pool from the get-go. Heck, maybe that's wh...

Ed , I still contend and stick with they should both be able to program and know how SAS works. I prefer the intervewing company give a test, were the person being interviewed is sat in front a laptop or desktop and told to write code to solve some problems. No online help no books just the persona nd the computer. This weeds out those who can code and those who cant, from those who can you then talk to them about the code they wrote and you can deduce those who understand how SAS works and thos who dont.

SAS 8 and SAS 9 on the same server
I'm installing SAS 9.1.2 on a Windows 2000 server where the SAS 8 is already installed and functional. For a test period, both version should work on the same server. What's the best way to configure the Object Spawner (Integration Technologies)?? I think on these two options below: Option 1: Create one Spawner service for each SAS version. I'd have two services running on Windows, each one executing one specific version of SAS. Option 2: One only Spawner service. The Spawner file would have one entry for each SAS version. Each SAS version would be alocated on a diferent IOM por...

If this data is queryied a lot but only deleted once a month, the time in querying (which probably is in peak time) could be much more important than the time in deleting (which could be run when the computer is not busy, such as nights or weekends). It is not the VIEW that has an influence on deleting the old data. I would think that having the 24 indexed data sets might be about as good as having the giant data set. I would think the indexes could be used while accessing the data through views. Where's that guy that says he knows everything about using indexed data sets?

Re: Converting from SAS 5 to SAS 9 #12 1545866
Hello Friends, I remember using PC SAS 6.04. I missed using the first version for PCs, 6.03. To make it useful (SAS/CONNECT to the mainframe), we had to be able to load PC-DOS (MS-DOS), SAS, and your mainframe terminal emulator with conventional memory (640 KB). We had to swap out our existing emulator for another one with a smaller footprint to make it work. I over-clocked that IBM AT with a new crystal but that is another, OT story ;-) Just to confirm and clarify, Version 5 was never released for use on personal computers. So if the data set was created on a personal computer, it had ...
