I often want to find out if a specific proc is in our enterprise guide or not. Is there any easy way to do this. I know this is the same as finding if you have it in "regular" SAS whatever they call that 🙂 but I use EG almost entirely.
The easiest way is just to try it:
34 proc NotFound; ERROR: Procedure NOTFOUND not found. 35 run;
It depends on what you mean. If you want to know if it works, use SASKiwi's approach. if you want to find it in the project. I just unzip it and then do a regex search for it. I have a web service that unwinds an EG solution to a temp dir, then scans it using regex for all proc/data step boundaries. It kind of depends on what you want.
Enterprise Guide is your client connecting to a SAS Server where SAS executes. What Proc's are available to you depends on what SAS modules are licensed and installed on the SAS Server.
proc setinit; will tell you what's licensed, proc product_status; tells you what's installed and the documentation per product then gives you the list of proc's.
Found also this blog here which you might find interesting.
SAS procs are bundled in "products". For example, PROC MEANS and PROC SGPLOT are part of Base SAS (everyone has it). PROC LOGISTIC is part of SAS/STAT (most people have that), PROC ESM is part of SAS/ETS (time-series/forecasting, special product that not everyone has). If you have a question about a specific proc then you need to know which product it's in, and that can be found in the documentation for that procedure.
This code will reveal what products you have licensed and installed:
proc product_status;
run;
In SAS Enterprise Guide you can also check the server properties->Software. There's a View SAS Server Products button:
Click it to see a list like this:
To insert pictures you need to upload them first using the camera icon. Look at the properties of SASApp or what ever is the first server name in your EG server list.
