The 10th meetup of Polish SAS Users Group

[yabwon]

Dear PolSUG'ers, 

Two interesting "SAScentric" events in May 2021 are behind us. The first was SAS Global Forum 2021 (see proceedings here), the second was PharmaSUG 2021 (see proceedings here). Now is the high time to announce "the event of June"! 😉

With great pleasure I would like to invite you for the 10th, anniversary, meeting of Polish SAS Users Group (#PolSUG).

The meeting takes place on Wednesday, June 23rd at 18:00 (Polish time). We are meeting on the Z00M platform using the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86905632381?pwd=SlhQZ05pQTRJR1kyUlZMNmQ5b1ZZZz09

Our guest will be Quentin McMullen (chair of BASUG) and his talk: "A Close Look at How DOSUBL Handles Macro Variable Scope" can be described as follows:

The macro variable scoping rules of the SAS macro language are complex, and well-documented. The DOSUBL function, introduced in SAS 9.3M2, adds an additional layer of complexity to these scoping rules, as the macro programmer needs to understand how code executing in the DOSUBL side-session will create or update macro variables, and what impact this will have on macro variables stored in the main session symbol tables. Unfortunately, the current SAS documentation does not provide a clear definition of the DOSUBL scoping rules. This presentation presents a series of test cases designed to illustrate DOSUBL’s handling of macro variable scopes. The intended audience is experienced macro programmers interested in learning how DOSUBL manages macro variable scopes.

Details are available in Quentin's SAS Global Forum 2020 article here.

Agenda:

• 18:00 Welcome and intro.
• 18:10 Talk: "A Close Look at How DOSUBL Handles Macro Variable Scope" by @Quentin.
• 19:00 Break.
• 19:05 Tricks&tips - quarter about coding.
• 19:20 Ending.

I can't wait to chat with you all at the meeting!

Since traditionally, it is "word of mouth", I have a request: if you know someone who would be interested in PolSUG meetings, please share this information and invitation on my behalf.

All the best

Bart

Thanks for the invitation to present to PolSUG, @yabwon!  I'm glad to have the opportunity to present this "live", and hear what people think. 

6:00pm Polish time works great for those of us in the US who can think of this as a noon lunch presentation. : )
