Can I modify EG so that formatting SAS code doesn't tab "If Then" statements to a seperate lines?
Yes.
I am new to EG. When I run the EG code formating procedure, SAS indents the if statement to a seperate line. For example:
I want this:
if x=0 then y=1; else
x >0 then y=2; else
x<0 then y=3;
What I get is something like:
if x=0 then
y=1;
else
x >0 then
y=2;
else
x<0 then
y=3;
Could it have something to do with the code being incorrect?
What is with the extra THEN keywords?
I assume you meant something like this.
if x=0 then y=1;
else if x>0 then y=2;
else if x<0 then y=3;
Personally I would not use your style becuase it is placing key information (the ELSE keyword) at the end of the line instead of the beginning of the line. This makes it very difficult to quickly scan the code. The beginning of the lines will be alligned, but the ends of the lines will be ragged.
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
