IML File Exchange

fja — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 07:32:38 GMT

Dear Community!

I have just learned about IML and had a look on the User Guide. Of course my first visit was the IML file exchange.

Now first, I do not find it available in the "Analytics" drop down menu of the communities web page, and second, I find it being empty ... i.e. there are no postings displayed.

Am I doing anything wrong? ... or is it that the idea of a file exchanged has not picked up speed, yet?

Cheers

Fja

Hello,

says indeed :
No posts to display.

Not sure what happened. I think @Rick_SAS can shed some light.

The IML Community was one of the first communities to offer a place for users to post programs, documentation, etc. The administrators later added this capability to the Communities, in general. In Fall 2022, they merged the IML File Exchange into the SAS Community Library. To find the files that used to be in the File Exchange, go to the SAS Community Library, and search for "iml" within that community.

I think they are going to remove the "File Exchange" link eventually, or maybe redirect it.

Thank you Rick!
Maybe they could simply implement a redirect to the library ... just to avoid confusion, as the File Exchange was mentioned in most of your publications.

Thank you both very much!
I hope it is ok, that I chose Ricks's posting as a solution. Unfortunately there can only be one ...
A very pleasant change of the year to you.
