Hacker tip #1

SAS Studio - Autoexec

Your SAS Studio instance has an autoexec - this is a place for code that will run automatically at the start of your session. Just choose Options / Autoexec File and paste your code into the window.

What to put there?

Well you could add these two lines of code and make the entire sasjs/core library available to your session!

filename mc url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sasjs/core/main/all.sas";
%inc mc;

You might also put your hackathon specific setup scripts and macro variables there, so that they are always active when reloading your session.

Thanks @AllanBowe ,

I require "my" team ( @SomnathP ) to include this in their autoexec. 😉

If they are looking for documentation on this MacroCore library

, is this the best place to send them to : https://sasjs.io/sasjs-core/ ??

Also a tip for my co-mentor : @surajkamath

Hi Koen!

The macros are documented directly, here: https://core.sasjs.io

In coming tips we'll show how they can be compiled into Jobs and Services (and Tests), and deployed to SAS Viya 4 using the REST APIs, from the comfort of VS-Code

Best,
Allan
