reducing the size of my code

skipper — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:57:14 GMT

I have this rather long peice of code and was wondering how it could be reduced down to take up less lines of code.

data home.euro_f_1109;

set home.euro_f_1109;

Re: reducing the size of my code

Reeza — Tue, 01 May 2012 20:06:41 GMT

something like the following should work.

It can be simplified even further but this gets you started and I'm sure someone will come and produce a better solution.

I'm also not sure how to compare time at the top of my head, so the '16:00:00't might not be correct either.

data want;

set have;

date_start='22Jun2011'd;

date_end='22Sep2011'd;

time_trade=time(trade_date_time);

if time_trade>'16:00:00't then date_temp=datepart(trade_date_time)+1;

else date_temp=datepart(trade_date_time);

if date_temp<date_start then group=1;

else if date<date_end then group=date_temp-date_start;

else group=0;

run;

thanks, im just trying this code, but im not sure it will do friday probably, notice some of the times finish as 00:00:00

Re: reducing the size of my code

skipper — Tue, 01 May 2012 20:23:59 GMT

that suggested code gives me 90 groups, but the original code only gives 76 groups!

Re: reducing the size of my code

Reeza — Tue, 01 May 2012 22:33:22 GMT

Well I don't have data to test it you do...it gets you closer though. Reading 76 lines of code its easy to miss things.

I'm guessing only its only weekdays that are considered, thats why from group4 to group5 your missing the 25th? Then you can consider using the intck function instead of straight subtraction with the 'weekday' setting.

intck('weekday', date_temp, date_start);

You can also add the logic for Fridays by using another if statement and a weekday function, weekday(datepart(your_date))=6 is Friday I believe.

I would consider using proc format cntlin= ;

Re: reducing the size of my code

Reeza — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:53:59 GMT

You'd still have to type it all out at least once for this type of data so the 'length' of your code isn't significantly different is it?

Re: reducing the size of my code

Ksharp — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:31:43 GMT

Reeza,

We can use Data step to get such dataset ,if there are some rules .

What is your opinion ?

Did you attend the SGF 2012 ?

FriedEgg saw you.

Re: reducing the size of my code

Reeza — Thu, 03 May 2012 16:51:25 GMT

True...the code would go somewhere though so it depends on what the eventual process is.

I was at SGF 2012, not presenting this year though, were you?

I said hi to FriedEgg and looked for him at the Kickback party but didn't see him.

Rewriting someone else's code is not that easy. Here is my try, admittedly a bit macro heavy. It may be possible (or better) if you convert these funtion-style macros into proper fcmp functions -- I didn't bother because they were just one-liners.

/* test data */
data one;
    do trade_date_time = "21jun2011 01:00:00"dt to "23sep2011 23:00:00"dt by 60*60;
      output;
    end;
run;

%*-- consts --*;
%let start = %sysevalf("22jun2011"d);
%let finish = %sysevalf("21sep2011"d);
%let holidays = ("3jul2011"d, "4jul2011"d, "4sep2011"d, "5sep2011"d);
%let firstdaysBack = ("05jul11"d, "06sep2011"d);
%let friday = (6);
%let saturday = (7);

%*-- helpers --*;
%macro dt(date, hour);
    put(dhms(&date,&hour,0,0), best12.)
%mend dt;
%macro lbl();
    put(input(label, best.) + 1, best12.)
%mend lbl;
%macro out(start, end, hlo, label);
    do;
      start=&start; end=&end; hlo=&hlo; label=&label;
      output;
    end;
%mend out;

/* create a user-defined numeric informat */
data groups;
    retain fmtname "group" type "i";
    length start end label $12 hlo $1;

    %out("", %dt(&start, 16), "L", "1")

    do date = &start to &finish;
      if date in &holidays then
        continue;
      if date in &firstDaysBack then
        %out(%dt(date, 00), %dt(date, 16), "", %lbl())

@Fareeza: You didn't see him because I had him cornered in a discussion outside in the smoking section (even though he doesn't smoke)! Since I'm a pipe smoker I usually end up outside and, honestly, I learn more fromthe discussions I get into out there than anywhere else at the conference. Besides, it was a lot quieter out there.

Re: reducing the size of my code

Linlin — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:05:35 GMT

Are you a smoker???

Re: reducing the size of my code

Reeza — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:10:58 GMT

1) That's why I didn't you see you either I suppose

2) I didn't know there was a smoking area...

3) I wouldn't be able to breathe there (asthma) so it wouldn't matter how good the discussion was

@ Linlin: Yes! Unfortunately when I was teaching Psychology at a university (a long time ago), profs were almost expected to be pipe smokers and could smoke in class. Long story short: I got addicted and, while I've tried, am stuck with that fact. However, I'll never smoke around Fareeza or anyone else who is bothered by it.

Now I know what is in your hand in the picture. I am allergic to perfume, every product I use has to be fragrance free.

Re: reducing the size of my code

art297 — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:44:42 GMT

I NEVER wear perfume! BTW, I'm trying to entice the BASUG to invite me to present at one of your meetings. Apparently, I have to change my first name to "Mike". You would have to have followed the discussion on the SGF2012 LinkedIn page for that to make sense.

Re: reducing the size of my code

Linlin — Thu, 03 May 2012 23:07:29 GMT

That would be great if you come! At last BASUG meeting I asked Mike to sign my handout.

Re: reducing the size of my code

art297 — Thu, 03 May 2012 23:31:38 GMT

You should get approval to attend our Toronto meeting on June 8th (Boston isn't that far from Toronto). Mike will be presenting at it, as well as me, 5 SGF paper presenters, and one which won one the best paper award this year, plus more. We'll be formally announcing it, hopefully, by Monday.

No. I could not be at SGF2012. FriedEgg represented me to explain my paper at SGF2102. Thanks him very much.
