SAS Integration technology package enables users to build client/server infrastructure. However, in order for client to take the IOM Bridge for COM to use the CryptoAPI algorithms to communicate with the IOM server, we need to install tcpdcapi.dll on client with SAS/SECURE. It is required from SAS 9.4M8. In that case, how do we install the tcpdcapi.dll on client machine alternatively along with the SAS Integration technology? ... View more

Please bring back the Narratives from the PSS (Power and Sample Size) application. I found this very useful for rapidly generating a sensible, accurate report.   According to SAS Technical Support, the PSS application was replaced by a set of tasks in SAS Studio 3.6, but does not include the Narratives (described near the bottom of this page:https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63962/HTML/default/viewer.htm#statug_clientpss_sect006.htm )   More discussion here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/Community-Suggestion-Box/Bring-back-the-Narratives-from-the-PSS-Power-and-Sample-Size/idc-p/831196  ...

Are there any plans for SAS Studio custom tasks to be supported in EG or to include the SAS Studio task creation methodology (XML+Apache Velocity) inside EG? The current methodology for developing custom EG tasks is a real bind (as it involves .NET and publishing that, loading it into EG, testing it there, finding issues, going back to the source code, etc.). SAS Studio task development is much easier to develop and test custom tasks. being able to utilise these very powerful tools will enhance EG considerably. We have SAS-supplied SAS Studio tasks available in EG but it would be good to be able to use custom-created SAS Studio tasks in EG as well. ... View more

Using sas studio in SAS viya environment, the infile statement doesn't support wild cards see https://blogs.sas.com/content/sasdummy/2018/10/09/read-multiple-text-files/#comment-329562  to see how wildcards can be used in infile.   In SAS studio with SAS viya, importing one file using this logic works: filename ACH FILESRVC folderpath = '/Users/jwalker/My Folder/My Data/'; data dsn; infile ACH("myfile1.txt") filename=filename;   However when trying to use wildcards to process all the files does not work: data dsn; infile ACH(*.txt) filename=filename; ...

Right now, trying to use Studio (on Demand for Academics) from my Android tablet with Chrome is an exercise in advanced Masochism. After just a few edits, the code displayed on the screen does not match the code that is actually stored and sent for execution, which is later revealed in the log by ERRORs. The only reliable method to use it right now is: prepare the code in an external editor start a pristine session copy paste the code once submit Please make Studio work on those platforms (copy/paste, edit functions). ...

As can be seen here, the default keyboard shortcut layout often interferes with the functions of the client's keyboard, depending on operating system and locale. It would be of great advantage to make the shortcuts in SAS Studio configurable, so that users can adapt them to their local specifics and their individual preferences. ... View more

SAS needs similar functionality as RMarkdown that allows for code and output to be more directly controlled.    This would make it easier to create tutorials and reference materials for students, teaching and blog posts. Jupyter Notebook offers some functionality that's similar but doesn't have the full suite of capabilities as RMarkdown.    https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/create-SAS-help-pages-and-examples/m-p/716671#M24844 ...

Even though the rule has been disabled to allow users to create scheduled jobs... The option to "Schedule as a job" or create a "New Job" is not greyed out in the applications... Even though the menu item allows the user to enter all the needed information to create a scheduled job, the end result is a scheduled job is not actually created which is what is desired.   However, this gives the impression that there is an issue with the software that the job wasn't scheduled, not that they don't have the permission to create a scheduled job.  The application option should be greyed out to reflect the permission rule.     ...

One of the most useful features of the improved EG Editor is Keyboard Macro shortcuts, to program many common actions of the editor with a keyboard shortcut(of your choice) e.g.(highlight data steps, procs,duplicate lines,delete lines, paste custom code).   I want to propose to make this development is sas studio, because any code editor is incomplete without this feature, because it is present in the best ones ej.

We would like to be able to schedule a report job that will automatically run an existing dashboard, convert  it to PDF, and save the PDF to a network location.   Currently we are using the SAS PowerPoint Add-In to import data from the dashboard into PowerPoint.  This is very inefficient and takes a long time if the network is busy. ...

The Studio right click context menu has "New -> SAS Program (F4)" available.  When you select that, it opens a new SAS program.   When it does that, though, you have to save that program in the folder you want it in.  While that's an appropriate UI for a F4-created new program, or one created when you select the New option from the top of the page, it is unnecessary extra steps for someone who already has the folder open they want to save to.   Please change that workflow (either if you select the folder name, or if you right click on a file inside that folder) so it creates an empty file in the selected folder, and either prompts for a name then (by going into rename file mode and moving the cursor there), or asks for a new name when you select "save" (ctrl+s) but defaults that to the folder that was right-click selected for that file. ...

In SAS Studio, when you add a repository to the Git Repositories list of tracked repositories, it gives it a name that seemingly comes from the root folder the repository is stored in (the local disk folder, not the SAS Folder name). This name cannot be changed.   In my use case, all of my repos are stored in folders named the same thing - because they're in "[[project]]\src".  So I have all "src" repos, and can't change them.   It would be a better user experience if we either could relabel the repo while we add it (or afterwards), and/or if it defaulted to the SAS Folder Shortcut label if that is what it was added from.   Example: I have a SAS Folder shortcut named "MyProject" which points to //disk/MyProject/src/.  Right now, if I Open a Local Repository based on the repository that exists there, I will end up with a repository named "src".  It would be better to take the name from the SAS Folder shortcut, "MyProject", and further to allow me to relabel the repository with whatever makes sense - particularly as often Prod and Test will be identically named other than a higher level location difference. ...

Currently, to add a new repository to the Git Repositories section of SAS Studio, you do that from within that section by clicking Open and then navigating to the local folder storing the repository.    It would be much faster to be able to do that from the Server Files and Folders section itself; it clearly knows about the repos, as it shows a different icon for them.  We should be able to right click -> Track Repo or something similar to add it to that list.  Given it's already there most of the time, and I simply want to be able to commit/push/etc. it, this would reduce the time needed to add a new local repo significantly. ...

Create an "FIFO stack" of log references "in" each node.  When a new log listing for a node is created because the node's operation ran, "push" the new log on the stack and "pop" the oldest one off and discard it.  Create a way to view prior logs saved in the "stack".  Keep three logs by default, allow for more or less by providing a setting to control stack array length.   You never need to see an old log result, until you do  When you do, you just ran something and discarded the log result you wanted to review. ...
