Hey SAS-C

Only last week we had a "trick or treat season" release and here we have another "version" 😉
Hope you like it.

All the best

SAS Packages Framework, version 20241102

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

Changes

---

In the %loadPackage(), the %ICEloadPackage(), and the %loadPackageAddCnt() macros version of a package can be provided with a comparison condition.

If the required version is provided with a comparison operator, e.g., <=, =, or >, then the operator is used to compare required and provided versions.

The following example:

%loadPackage(myPackage
  ,requiredVersion=1.2.2=
)

will force to load the package only if the required version is exactly equal to the provided one.

Comparison is done in form "req. comparison prov.".

---

The Documentation and Hands-on-Workshops materials were updated.
