SAS System Viewer 9.1 unable to open SAS datasets ( SAS 9.1.3)
SAS System Viewer 9.1 was able to open datasets that were created by V8 engine (SAS 8.2), but is unable to open datasets that are created with V9 engine (SAS 9.1.3). Does this need SAS System Viewer to be upgraded ? or Something else needs to be done ?

SAS System Viewer 9.1 can: (1) Read SAS v8 data sets created by SAS v8 on Windows or UNIX (2) Read SAS v8 data sets created by SAS v9 on Windows (3) Read SAS v9 data sets created by SAS v9 on Windows SAS System Viewer 9.1 can not: (1) Read SAS v8 data sets created by SAS v9 on UNIX (2) Read SAS v9 data sets created by SAS v9 on UNIX Alternatives: (1) There is a beta version of the CDISC Viewer that can be downloaded from the SAS web site, but it is fragile. (2) There is also a SAS Universal Viewer bundled with SAS v9.2 for Windows. .....Phil Holland -- -------------------------------------------------------- Holland Numerics Ltd 94 Green Drift, Royston, Herts SG8 5BT, UK mobile : +44-(0)7714-279085 email : <NEWS@hollandnumerics.com> URL : http://www.hollandnumerics.com/ ...

SAS 9.1.1 Vs SAS EG 4.1
Dear SAS-L listers, I have tried the following sas code in both SAS 9.1(PC sas) and SAS EG 4.1 connected to a SAS 9.1.3 server on a unix machine. I am getting totally different results. Can anybody tell me why is this so? In SAS EG 4.1, I used cards/datalines to input the data, then i get the same result as in SAS 9.1(PC sas). The table ID created by the program has missing values, when executed in SAS EG 4.1. The same table ID does not have any missing values in PC sas. Is there any options or steps which will make the program give the same result, irrespective of PC sas or SAS EG 4.1. Pl...

Re: SAS 9.1.3 on 1.33 GHz Laptop?
Hi Joe, I don't think that 1.3 GHz are the main problem. It will run smoothley, but I think it will not be a great joy to work with 20 billions of records with a slow notebook disc. Think that might be the bottleneck. If you work with not too much records and have enough (at least 2 GB or more) memory, that should run good. SAS normally is not too processor intensive, depending on the complexity of your programs. For "normal" purposes you'll see, that the processor will be no problem. Memory and the disc speed might be more important. Gerhard On Tue, 28 Oct 2008 08:53:17 -0700, josephpaulgaspar@GMAIL.COM wrote: >Hi, > >I'd like to purchase a new, ultra-portable laptop.

Re: Emailing SAS Graphs using the pull down option -- SAS 9.1 #4
I think this is what I would expect. There is no love lost between the space on my hard drive and BMP files. I find them to be extremely inefficient and prefer one of the compressed formats, selecting the level of compression the task will bear. This also means I specify an output file name and use an appropriate SAS/Graph driver for the output. The default behaviour is useful only to demonstrate that the graph generation works and that the email engine is correctly configured. Depending on an approach that delivers bloat mails puts my work at risk of not being read due to file sizes and email filtering rules. So in answer to question 1; no. Which means that my answer to question 2 is also no. You should bear in mind though that I don't consider my work to be part of the "average" community, especially when so many people are performing D & M stat analyses, and a lot of others produce ad-hoc and one-off analysis and reporting.

Old SAS Guy needs help with some of these new fangled SAS 9.1.3
Greetings all who have helped me in the past. Here is something that has been bothering me unending and is causing me = sleepless afternoons. =20 I know that I can import just about any file imaginable into SAS using = the import function using SAS Windows 9.1.3. =20 However, when trying to get comma seperated values moved all at once = into the new SAS file, I can (or only know how to get) the data for one variable moved at a = time. I would like to do a mass=20 move of all the data from the input file into the new SAS file. Is = there a way to do this? Because once I have imported the file into a new SAS file, established variable = names, established formats, informats, variable lengths, etc. I would like to be able to save the settings for = the next like file that I want to import into what I have already slaved over doing, defining, etc., without repeating the = process. Is there a way to do this? Waiting with bad breath on the sidelines. The Old SYS/390 guy "SAS was originally invented for computer performance and capacity = planning for the SYS/3x0 IBM machines... they sure have taken it into new features that are amazing" I'm not sure I understand your question but it sounds like you're importing data using an wizard and you want to do it using command syntax.

Re: SAS Advanced Programming Exam for SAS 9: SAS Joke of the year.
I took the advanced exam this April because I wanted a relatively systematic way of assessing my knowledge of SAS in a short time span. For that purpose, it was worth it. Since I learn SAS by doing new tasks, or re-doing old tasks in a new way, I assume my knowledge of SAS is uneven, even though I am regarded as productive, and frequently creative in using SAS to solve our group's problems. I passed the test, with lower subscores on the components that I expected to be weakest on. I thought many of the questions made me think about some fundamental, sometimes subtle, features of the lan...

Re: SAS 9.1.3 on 1.33 GHz Laptop? #2
I wouldn't worry too much about it ... GHz doesn't matter that much anymore, compared to other elements. The U7700 is a pretty good CPU, hitting over 1000 on CPUMark06 ( http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html for example). It's slow because that decreases heat and decreases voltage necessary; but it makes up for that with its transistor density, and being dual core certainly doesn't hurt. I agree though that the notebook disk is more of a problem - if you can upgrade to a 5400 RPM drive at least that will be helpful (or possibly just use external - I wouldn't be shocked to learn that an external 7200RPM over USB2.0 is faster than a 4200 RPM notebook drive over any connection). -Joe On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 10:53 AM, <josephpaulgaspar@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'd like to purchase a new, ultra-portable laptop.

Re: SAS 9.1.3 on 1.33 GHz Laptop? #4
....and 9.1.3 has strong tools to fill up memory, if available. E.g you can use hash objects for joining data instead of merge or SQL. Very fast, if you have enough memory left. Have also a look on all the "important" tools, which fill up your memory, to keep it free for SAS. Many of that things are started when booting, but are unnecessarily. That hundreds of things which are waiting for you to start a editor or a photo-book, or a video tool are unnecessary. If you really need one of that tools, start it. The resident programs only save some seconds for you, but they fill up memory with nothing useful. Maybe also a virus- or spyware-scanner is only necessary as long as you have a internet connection. Switch that off as long as you don't need it. Your SAS programs will enjoy that. It is not enough to have big memory, you must also keep it clean! For fast disk access you might think about a external SATA disk which might be much faster than a internal one. Think your notebook has a external SATA - port?! Ok, not a good idea for your railway travel or flight, but sometimes you might use the notebook at home or in office...
