Hi,

 

Some macro's are standard within SAS, for example the %logtest. However, within SAS studio that my company runs on a server build by SAS I cannot run these macro's. Is there a method to install these macro's or do you need to "activate" them first?

 

Thanks in advance,

Gavin

Many of the SAS supplied macros are dependent on the SAS products installed. If the macro is in a product not installed for you then that could be an issue. If you know which product the macro is supposed be associated with then you might run this code:

 

proc setinit;
run;

proc product_status;
run;

Setinit will tell which products are licensed and Product_status will tell which products were actually installed when you exam the Log. If the SAS product is in the Setinit results but not the Product_status then an update to your installation is in order. If not in Setinit then an expansion of the license is needed.

 

 

Sin %logtest is not installed in my fairly bare SAS installation I can't tell you which product to look for.
