Thanks for the memories Ron Fehd,
I have been using SAS for almost 40 years. For my positions in the banking industry, \
for the first 13 years, I was always using SAS on Main Frame computers. I would \
also work with COBOL programmers who were implementing production credit risk models \
developed with SAS.
During Main Frame ERA I would sometimes ask candidates coming in for interviews; what \
does JCL stand for. I would accept "Job Control Language" or "Just Copy Lines".
I didn't code in COBOL but I remember how similar SAS User FORMAT tables and ARRAYS \
were used in COBOL coding.
Before SQL came around colleague's came to me to handle large data sets using PROC \
FORMAT. I still find PROC FORMAT sometimes works better than SQL with large \
datasets.
Thanks,
Jonas V. Bilenas

Subject: Re: 50 Years of SAS
for those who remember mainframe / BigIron
z/OS
SAS v.5.* datasets were stored in a 'directory'
which had RECFM=U
This was one of the reasons, quoted to me,
that we began 'migrating'
from mainframe
(down) to PC-SAS.
https://www.longpelaexpertise.com.au/ezine/RECFMU.php
Of course, once users passed the MTBF of their PCs
and crashed, taking their data with it,
we began to have data stored on division-wide servers.
("nightly backups" they said)
that was before UNC: Universal Naming Conventions.
One of the reasons I learned about autoexec.sas
was our friendly server admin
came in over the weekend
and migrated our data and programs to a bigger machine.
per email:
"Your data, previously stored in Drive.letter=R
is now stored in Drive.letter=S"
todo: change folder of libname library
in 100+ programs from R: to S:
two years later: same Monday morning email:
"previously S is now stored in Drive.letter=R"
then I began moving all my
libname library 'R:\..."
to one autoexec.

Subject: Demo Instance of Data Controller - on SASjs Server
Hi everyone,
In recent weeks / months we've added a lot of functionality to SASjs Server
(an MIT open source REST API for Foundation SAS), such as:
* LDAP integration
* Mocked SAS responses
* Alternative Runtimes (Python, JS, R)
As an illustration of these capabilities, as well as a teaser as to how
Data Controller could be helpful to you and your team, we've launched a
demo site here:
https://demo.datacontroller.io
The frontend is deployed as static content on github pages, the backend is
using a JS-only instance of SASjs Server with mocked responses. Which is
why it won't quite react as per your selections in the UI.
If you'd like to try out the real version of Data Controller (free forever
for 5 users) just shoot me a PM.

Hi Team
I don't think it is possible to have command macros and turnoff the old style macros
macro oldmac;
data class;
set sashelp.class;
run;quit;
%
oldmac;
Both options noimplmac and nocmdmac disable user defined command macros.
I can't figure out where statement style macros are stored?

<br>Hi Team
<br>
<br> I don't think it is possible to have command macros and turnoff the old style \
macros <br>
<br>macro oldmac; \
<br>data class; \
<br> set sashelp.class; \
<br>run;quit; \
<br>% \
<br> \
<br>oldmac;
<br>
<br>Both options noimplmac and nocmdmac disable user defined command macros.
<br>
<br>I can't figure out where statement style macros are stored?
<br>

<br>Just yesterday I inherited a copy of SAS Users Guide 1979 edition! : )
<br>
<br>So looking it up there, indeed you are correct:
<br>
<br>macro thismnth april %
<br>%put >>thismnth<< ;
<br>
<br>macro doit proc print data=sashelp.class ;var name ;run ; %
<br>doit
<br>
<br>Kind Regards,
<br>--Q.
