I can't get past this seemingly trivial exercise. I would like to take advantage of all that PROC FEDSQL has to offer but simply cannot get consistent use of a PROC DS2 package.
PROC DS2;
package regexp / overwrite=yes;
method match( varchar(1024) pattern, varchar(1024) string ) returns integer;
return prxmatch(pattern, string);
end;
run;
QUIT;
Seems to yield the cryptic and not very useful error message of
ERROR: Access Violation occurred during PREPARE!
When trying to use it here for instance
PROC FEDSQL;
INSERT INTO tableB
SELECT id
FROM tableA
WHERE
regexp.match('/.*/', id) = 1
AND regexp.match('/^[5-9]/', id) = 0;
QUIT;Like are these PROC DS2 packages simply broken when used with PROC FEDSQL and I should just wait until 9.5 to come out when SAS has hopefully fixed all the bugs? Is this thing just inherently buggy?
Anyone? Would truly love to use this feature but cannot unless I have full PRXMATCH functionality.
