Can anyone help me on how to copy the SAS EG 8.2 process flow code into Mainframe_SAS?

Can I export the SAS EG 8.2 process flow code into my Mainframe SAS? If so what is the process to so the same?

Any help to solve this is appriciated.

A process flow only relates to SAS EG, which is a PC-only product, so that specifically can't be done.

However, if your objective is to be able to run the SAS code in the process flow on the mainframe, under the "File" menu entry there's an option to export all of the SAS code in the process flow. It will need some tinkering, but it should be fairly reusable.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply, Yeah I tried with the export option but I am getting the issue with length of the code, Since mainframe is can accommodate a length of 80, But here I am getting around 130. Due to this there is a truncation is happening. Any option available to give the length of 80 while exporting the code?

Mainframe can handle lines longer than 80 for code. You just cannot put it as in-line with your JCL like it was a stack of IBM punch cards. Save the code into a file and point the SYSIN ddname to the file with the code.

Based on the discussion here I'd say no - but you certainly could use auto-formatting together with setting indention to two blank spaces only to avoid too many long lines of code.

Once you've got your code in a text file you could process it and split up all lines longer than 72 characters - i.e. using Notepad++ with a RegEx search/replace.

You export all code to a .sas file, upload that to the mainframe, and run it as a batch via JCL.
