Hello - 

Can anyone let me know how can I create a Autocall library in SAS EG 8.2?

thanks in Advance,

Please read the documentation on this then post any further questions: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=mcrolref&docsetTarget=n1o5fkxq0gqdpcn1xs3ksdks69tf.htm&docse...

What OS does your SAS server run on? Setting up AUTOCALL libraries varies between operating systems.

Thanks for your reply,

my SAS server is running on UNIX OS, I am able to compile the source code of my macro and stored it in the library. Now I am not able to make it as a AutoCall library, can you please help me on this?

thanks,

Here are the instructions for Unix: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=hostunx&docsetTarget=p08uk7awhtj5w6n1qaj3n3h0oa4s.htm&docset...

Please note the Unix file you store your AUTOCALL macro in must have a completely lower case name to work correctly. There is a good example in the link above for you to try out.

Are these the same steps you went through with your example?

Strongly recommend using the SAS files with code in your autocall library. That way you know where the source is when something goes kaflooey.

We get a couple posts per year on people trying to recover macro code from catalogs and have issues because of settings used and/or since catalogs are a bit more OS dependent various upgrades can break them. With the source code in the library that doesn't happen because a version compiled with a (now not compatible) version of SAS or OS means the macros don't work.

In batch mode, you can use the following JCL statements to specify an Autocall library.

For a single Autocall library, use this example:

//MYJOB    JOB account. ... 
//         EXEC SAS,OPTIONS='MAUTOSOURCE' 
//SASAUTOS DD DSN=MY.MACROS,DISP=SHR

For concatenated Autocall libraries, the following technique handles any combination of libraries:

//MYJOB    JOB account ... 
//         EXEC SAS,OPTIONS='MAUTOSOURCE SASAUTOS=(AUTOLIB1, AUTOLIB2,
//          SASAUTOS)'
//AUTOLIB1 DD DSN=MY.MACROS1,DISP=SHR 
//AUTOLIB2 DD DSN=MY.MACROS2,DISP=SHR 
//SASAUTOS DD DSN=default.autocall.library,DISP=SHR

 I hope this will answer all your queries which you mentioned above and If not then please specify with more details. 

I am currently working on a website tilers Perth which is very helpful in tiling related services.

Thanks!
