Hey SAS-C,

Just FYI.

Bart

SAS Packages Framework, version 20241014

As usual available at: https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES

 

Changes

---

The %generatePackage() macro accepts two new code types:

• DS2PCK for Proc DS2 packages, and
• DS2THR for Proc DS2 threads.

Those two new types allow to add PROC DS2 threads and packages to a SAS package.

---

The %loadPackage() macro has new parameter:

• DS2force - when set to 1 an existing data set named the same as thread or package is overwritten by DS2 file.

While loading a package that contains PRCO DS2 code, by default, if there already exist a SAS data set with the same name (which is not a DS2 thread or package file) a warning is issued in the log and the thread/package data set is not generated. To force overwrite, set the DS2force= parameter of the %loadPackage() macro to 1.

---

Minor updates and fixes:

• Proc sql "drop table" replaced with fedsqsl's for data sets deletion.
• Proc iml, fcmp, and proto code blocks end with quit; statement.

---

Documentation and Hands-on-Workshops materials updated.
