CART is in the Enterprise Miner software, one of the more expensive add-ons. There are some third part add-ons, google +SAS +CART for them. Depending on the sorts of financial data you are analyzing, you can do a lot with SAS/BASE and SAS/STAT. We do lifetime cost models (individual level data) that way. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

Hmm. I'm not really sure of the question. The Filter and Query task has a tab for sorting that is pretty obvious, so I suspect that is not what you are asking. Do you want the sorted output to look like 09/17/2006 09/17/2007 09/18/2005 09/18/2006 ... ? If so, the only way I know to do that is to create a new variable that is the text representation of the date. You can do that with the PUT function, PUT(orig_date_var,mmddyy10.) in the expression builder. HTH Doc Muhlbaier ... View more

Rupen, This forum is for Enterprise Guide, not Enterprise Miner; there are only a small percent of EG users who are also EM users. This sounds more like a question for technical support as it may be that you don't have a component installed/licensed and they can tell that from your site number. Doc Muhlbaier ... View more

If you use PROC SORT, the sorting will be done on one SAS dataset on your SAS server. If you use SQL, the SORT may be done on the Oracle server, depending on a the complexity of the syntax and whether or not other filter or query options (like functions in the expression builder) can be translated into Oracle's flavor of SQL or not. (SAS tries to resolve the syntax into something that Oracle can do and just get the results back at the end.). Personally, I do it both places. If all I need is a sort, I do it in the SORT task; if I am doing other transformations, I'll let SQL do it (the latter case is more common). If I've lot lots of data (hundreds of thousands of records), then I am more thoughtful in my choice (and read the SAS/Access for Oracle manual). Doc Muhlbaier ... View more

Check out this SAS note. http://support.sas.com/techsup/unotes/SN/012/012568.html If that doesn't satisfy, I know there have been several presentations at the last couple of SUGI's that discussed SAS performance, so you could search them. If you are still not satisfied, SAS has a performance consulting service that can help on specifics (for a fee, I believe). They were very helpful to us in sizing some new Unix boxes for SAS.

I read the blog referenced in Chris' post. It just raises the question of when EG 4.1 will be upgraded to support Vista in regular production since it supports Vista in the SAS-on-demand. Some of my students with new computers are having to go back and back-fit with XP. ... View more

SAS Institute has since updated the Tech Support web site to explicitly state that SAS LE 4.1 is not supported under Vista. SI also lists the 9.1.3 products supported under Vista in http://support.sas.com/techsup/pcn/vista.html Of note, EG is not included on the list of supported products either. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ...

To use Version-Control, you have to do it outside SAS EG. Note that tasks that are managed through the Point & Click interface are stored totally within the .SEG file and you would have to do VC for the entire .seg file. For code nodes that are external files, you can do VC for the code (only) from outside the .seg file. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more

I see it took 27 minutes to get the first response from someone in SAS-L; it's a wonderful resource for general SAS questions. Since it sounded doable, maybe another poster can point you to macros to do the job. Doc ... View more

I forgot to mention that the SMTP server is identified under Tools --> Options --> e-mail settings. ... View more

I use it all the time. The only hitch was that I had to contact my help desk to find out the name of our SMTP mail service (We use Lotus Notes, so things like that are rather opaque to the user). I actually like it better than opening up steps in various pieces, especially once development is done. The e-mail contains one zip file with everything you selected (can include logs, datasets, as well as results). Doc ... View more

Edit --> Find and CTRL-F work for me in the code node. Sounds like it's time for a call to Tech Support. You might need to do a rip-and-replace of the EGuide install from the CDs. Sometimes my office tech support installs fail because the questions that SAS asks on the install change over time. ... View more

My guess is that you can't from within EGuide. You can schedule a project to take the results of a task and put them into a particular place (via export). You may be able to have a job scheduler pick up the results and print it (even through Visual BASIC scripting with Word, perhaps even incorporating it into the SAS scheduler script). [I no longer know enough BASIC to even be able to get started on such a task.] Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more
