Dick, To get the statistics is quite easy, to add them back to the data table is messy. To get the statistics, use tasks --> describe --> summary statistics and select the variables and statistics that you want.  It will produce an output report with the data. If you want to add them to the data table, you can also select output results and it will also produce a SAS dataset with one record containing all the summary statistics for all the variables.  Then you need to rename the variables, transpose the data, and append the result to the original.

Jakub, The editor in 4.3 introduces the extensive syntax checking in the editor.  As you edit, EG is simultaneously updating the checking and color coding.  If your PC has limited memory or CPU speed, you will see a lag.  I'm not sure if there is a way to run off the syntax checking.  You might try breaking the program into pieces and running in sequence or using %INCLUDE. I do big programs in EG 5.1 (Win 7 Pro, 4 GB, 4 processor) and have no lag in the programming. Doc Muhlbaier ... View more

Java is just another tool in the toolkit.  The rhetorical question of "Why?" is unlikely to be answered on the forum. SAS does not require Java to run (other than for display of some graphics).  If you use the Java tools for updates it will continue to work fine (there will be multiple Java's on your PC).  However, if your IT support does a brute force rip-and-replace, it will fail because the SAS config is not kept up to date (been there, done that). The SAS uninstall tool is a Java script. ... View more

One way is to store the template in a .txt file, open it with Notepad and copy-and-paste it into your new program. ... View more

It is pretty easy to do that in EGuide.  First, you have to set up your environment (for me, finding the name of your outgoing SMTP server was the hardest part).  In EG 5.1, that is under tools --> options --> Administration . Then run your task and select something that you want to send by right-clicking on the icon and selecting "send to" and "email recipient as a step in the project".  Once in that task, you can select the specific log's and other objects that you want to e-mail.

Tom found your missing end; statement (though not analyzing the logic as to where to put it). An easy way to see this is if you have access to EGuide 5.1.  Paste the code into a program task, it <ctrl>+I and it will reformat the code.  At that point the missing end; is obvious. The "run;" statement appearing twice is just an artifact of how SAS reports errors.  Note that the same line number is on each "run;" so it is the same statement. ... View more

That's what I was afraid of.  To my knowledge, there is no SAS tool that could do that. If you have sufficient administrative rights, you could kill the PC SAS and EG sessions.  That will be unlikely to win you any friends among the analysts... A less brutish approach would be to maintain two copies of the data; one that you can update and another that they can read.  Then you could use system tools to copy the files when the readers are inactive.  Task scheduler can re-try every x-minutes until successful.  If the users complain about stale data, you can get them to use peer pressure on the offending analyst(s). ...

I think that what helloSAS is trying to do is to allow the PC SAS and EG users to run programs against the dataset, but not open it in spreadsheet view.  The password won't resolve that because it applies to both.  Perhaps helloSAS can clarify the need. ... View more

Your English is fine.  You may need to do as Tom said and provide your log, SAS version, and OS as well as your output.  Cut-and-paste will sometimes reveals things that our eyes miss in re-typing. I ran your sample code with 32 bit SAS 9.3 TS1M2 on a Win 7 Pro 64 bit OS, and the sample reported 0 as well as the comment. Doc Muhlbaier Duke ... View more
