St 610 N 1. Use MOZILLA as your web browser. Internet Explorer can give problems with .sas file extensions From the NOVELL applications launcher, open all the unity applications There you will see Mozilla 2. From ST 610 Web page we will go through DEMOS Click DEMOS Select the chapter, e.g. Chap1 Select the program, e.g. book1_1.txt It will open as a text file Mark (edit-> select all), Edit-> copy, go to SAS pgm editor, Edit -> paste CTRL-A CTRL-C " CTRL V 3. Defining Keys Go to SAS program editor Tools-> Options -> Keys (NOT enhanced editor keys) In the "F12" line, type out; clear; log; clear; wpgm; sub; Close the KEYS window - your settings will be permanently saved. 4. Folding blocks Go to SAS program editor Tools->Options->Enhanced Editor Keys Highlight "Collapse all Folding Blocks" Click in "Press New Shortcut Key" window (to right near bottom) Press the key you want (I use F11) Press "assign" I assign F10 to Expand all Folding Blocks in the same way. 5. Text files Some examples read flat (text) files specified in the INFILE statement. The files are imbedded in the programs For these examples: Copy and cut the data Paste it into another SAS program editor window (view->enhanced editor) file->save as then ... Go to your K space under settings->mysas8 (bottom right of your SAS session window shows that this is your default storrage space - probably want to make a subfolder e.g. st610n) save the file as a .dat type file In the example programs you can use "st610n\whatever.dat" in your infile statement SAS will automatically look in default storage folder. 6. Saving You may want to save program files in your own space. The K drive space described above would work. From SAS do file-> save as and give a name. I suggest taking the default (.sas) extension. 7. Results window When running a SAS job, to the left you ahve the explorer and results windows. The results window can take you to a particular piece of output ("table") RIGHT click on that piece and select "print" from the popup window To delete results right click on the PROC line and select "delete" from popup. To delete ALL results right click "Results" and delete from popup menu. If your program does not end with a "quit;" statement, that PROC is still running and cannot be deleted. Using quit; at the end is a good idea.
