Hello,   when clicking into a user folder in LSF Calender Editor, I can see a ton full of calenders, which I want to delete:     Reading the IBM User Guide "Using the IBM Spectrum LSF ProcessManager Clients" https://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/platform/PSS10.1/pm10.1_using.pdf it is only described, how to delete a single calender:   Isn't there a way to use wildcard notation/multi selection (with CTRL key), or select several calenders in order to delete them all at once? I was hoping, maybe there is a command line I could execute in order to delete calenders....?   Cheers, FK1   ... View more

Hi Everyone,   I took a look at the Functions dictionary table. Now I was wondering, if someone could supply me with an explanation, what exactly the meaning of the two columns "fnctype" and "fncprod" is?   Reading the lables, did not help me much.   Freqing the two columns, I can see, that "fnctype" can either be "B", "C" or "N", which I guess stands for Binary, Characther and Numeric, respectively.       But I do not have any clue what "fncprod" represents.   Can someone help me out?   Thanks! ...

Hello Folks,   not taking into account that the former is a macro statement while the later is a data step statement, I was wondering whether there is any difference in the sense of behaviour/performance between: %ABORT ABEND; and data _NULL_; abort; run; I found in the documentation of the two statements   https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=mcrolref&docsetTarget=p0f7j2zr6z71nqn1fpefnmulzazf.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en   and   https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=lestmtsref&docsetTarget=p0hp2evpgqvfsfn1u223hh9ubv3g.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en   that both times it is stated that   "What happens next depends on the method that you use to submit your SAS statements the arguments that you use with %ABORT your operating environment" Or can they be used interchangeably?   Cheers, FK1 ...

Hello Folks,   running this code:   %macro debug; %LET _doDebug = no; %IF condition &_doDebug >= 1 %THEN %DO; %PUT &=_doDebug; %PUT PLEASE DO DEBUG THIS CODE!; %END; %ELSE %DO; %PUT &=_doDebug; %PUT DO NOT DEBUG!; %END; %mend; %debug I would expect the macro to abort with an error stating ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric operand is required. The condition was: condition &_doDebug >= 1 ERROR: The macro DEBUG will stop executing. However, it runs perferctly fine, although with an outcome that is not desired, namly to set the if condition to TRUE: MLOGIC(DEBUG): %IF-Bedingung condition &_doDebug >= 1 ist TRUE Why does SAS this? How can SAS equate a character expression with a numeric expression?   Also, wenn assigning the value "do not debug" to the macro variable " _doDebug " the macro does, what I expected:   30 %macro debug; 31 32 %LET _doDebug = do not debug; 33 34 %IF condition &_doDebug >= 1 %THEN %DO; 35 36 %PUT &=_doDebug; 37 %PUT PLEASE DO DEBUG THIS CODE!; 38 39 %END; 40 41 42 %ELSE %DO; 43 %PUT &=_doDebug; 44 %PUT DO NOT DEBUG!; 45 %END; 46 47 %mend; 48 49 %debug MLOGIC(DEBUG): Ausführung beginnt. MLOGIC(DEBUG): %LET (Variablenname ist _DODEBUG) ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric operand is required. The condition was: condition &_doDebug >= 1 ERROR: The macro DEBUG will stop executing. MLOGIC(DEBUG): Ausführung wird beendet. Can someone enlighten me? ... View more

Hi Folks,   when running this macro   %MACRO test; %PUT &SysMacroName.; %LET blubb = some lowcased text; %LET bla = %LOWCASE(&blubb.); %LET bla2 = %nrbquote(%CMPRES(&blubb.)); %PUT &=bla &=bla2; %mend; %TEST; I get these Warnings:   WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro LOWCASE not resolved. WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro CMPRES not resolved. WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro LOWCASE not resolved. BLA=%LOWCASE(some lowcased text) BLA2=%CMPRES(some lowcased text) why can these two calls to SAS Autocall macros not be resolved? Also, I want SAS to run the macros "LOWCASE" and "CMPRES" rather than just write them as vlaues into bla and bla, respectively.     Cheers, FK     ... View more
