How to access SAMPSRC library in SAS/IML from SAS onDemand for Academics?

rbettinger — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 17:17:30 GMT

I am teaching myself how to use lists in SAS/IML as available in SAS onDemand for Academics. The sample program on the SAS/IML 15.1 User Guide p. 169 contains the code

%include sampsrc(LstBST.sas); /* define modules */
proc iml;
load module = _all_; /* load modules */
x = {5 3 1 9 1 6 4}`;
bst = BSTCreate(x);
title "Diagram of Binary Search Tree";
call BSTPlot(bst);
quit;

which, when I run the code, produces the following error message:

WARNING: Physical file does not exist, /pbr/sfw/sas/940/SASFoundation/9.4/samples/accesssample/LstBST.sas.

ERROR: Cannot %INCLUDE member LstBST.sas in the aggregate SAMPSRC.

164

165 %include sampsrc( LstBST.sas ) ; /* define modules */

166

167 proc iml ;

NOTE: IML Ready

168 load module=_all_ ;

NOTE: Opening storage library WORK.IMLSTOR

168 ! /* load modules */

169

170 bst = BSTCreate( x ) ;

ERROR: Invocation of unresolved module BSTCREATE.

statement : ASSIGN at line 170 column 4

171 title "Diagram of Binary Search Tree" ;

172 call BSTPlot( bst ) ;

ERROR: Invocation of unresolved module BSTPLOT.

statement : CALL at line 172 column 4

173 quit ;

Has anyone else encountered this error? Is the SAMPSRC library not included in the SAS/IML product for SAS onDemand for Academics?
Thanks in advance,
Ross Bettinger

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question about SODA. However, the examples are part of the documentation and are publically available in other installations of SAS. I've put the list-related example programs in a github repo so that you can browse or download them:

SAS/IML sampsrc files

Hope that helps.

I the github repository created by @Rick_SAS there is no file named "LstBST.sas".

But there is a file named "lstbst.sas".

Filenames on unix filesystems are case sensitive.

Thanks, Rick. I will use your code and make my own module library.
