K-M plot: need help getting %ProvideSurvivalMacros and %CompileSurvivalTemplates to work in STAT14.3

[Andrewpass]

Hi,

I am running %ProvideSurvivalMacros and %CompileSurvivalTemplate. After I renew the license, it does not work now. I paste  information regarding my system and errors/warning encountered. I appreciate any advice and resolution in advance.  Thanks.

SAS (r) Proprietary Software 9.4 (TS1M5)

data _null_;

%let url = //support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/ex_code/143;

infile "http:&url/templft.html" device=url;

file 'macros.tmp';

retain pre 0;

input;

_infile_ = tranwrd(_infile_, '&', '&');

_infile_ = tranwrd(_infile_, '&lt;' , '<');

if index(_infile_, '</pre>') then pre = 0;

if pre then put _infile_;

if index(_infile_, '<pre>') then pre = 1;

run;

%inc 'macros.tmp' / nosource;

%ProvideSurvivalMacros

How are you running the program? EG? SAS Studio? Classic Windowing system? 

It could be a permission problem. When you run the DATA _NULL_ step, check the SAS log. You should see something like

NOTE: The file 'macros.tmp' is:
Filename=C:\Users\apass\macros.tmp,

Check to make sure there are no errors in the log.

You don't have to run the DATA _NULL_ step. You can just cut/paste the macro into your active session.

Or, you can use a text editor to store the file anywhere.you want. For example,

1. create the file 

C:\Downloads\KMmacros.sas

2. Cut and paste the text of the macro, which is available at 

http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/ex_code/143/templft.html

3. Save the file.

4. Inside your SAS session, run 

%inc "C:\Downloads\KMmacros.sas";

%ProvideSurvivalMacros

Thankyou so much for this solution. 

I also used it,  now I see that the CL limits in the summary table is zero, any advice on how to fix the zeros?
