https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Your-thoughts-on-using-EG/m-p/1067#M309 Fellow EG’ers:<BR /> <BR /> Coming from a primarily mainframe and unix SAS background, I’m used to writing my own code to get things done. As I transition to EG on Windows, I’m quickly realizing that certain things we took for granted on the “batch” platforms don’t necessarily (or easily) apply here – scheduling jobs, configuration, system commands, etc. <BR /> I’d like to get a sense of how other folks are using EG. <BR /> Are folks using EG for canned reporting or for full blown production stuff? Most of my users are relatively new to SAS so I would like to let them know what to expect or otherwise.<BR /> I’m beginning to think that even though EG is quite a powerful and intuitive tool, its’ batch processing capabilities can not match the unix or mainframe platforms. Are there additional tools that should be considered – such as scheduling, etc.<BR /> One of the many features I like about EG is that I can start my graphs or tabulates using the menus, and then customize them with additional code. Sometimes, it beats writing it all from scratch.<BR /> Your thoughts?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks<BR /> Nori Wed, 19 Jul 2006 16:49:51 GMT deleted_user 2006-07-19T16:49:51Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Your-thoughts-on-using-EG/m-p/1067#M309 Fellow EG’ers:<BR /> <BR /> Coming from a primarily mainframe and unix SAS background, I’m used to writing my own code to get things done.
