Hi all,   I've got a 'proc contents' statement inside a do loop which currently outputs the contents (library name, member name, variable name, etc) into a table for each table in a given folder.   I'd like to have my sas code all append these contents into one table, so I have an 'all contents data' table if you will.   Any suggestions?   Thanks! ...

One of our near future goals is to try and have DI Studio write to tables on MS SQL server. I've been making it a game attempt to follow this document, but haven't found success.   http://support.sas.com/techsup/technote/ts783.pdf   I have some questions as I think one of these is where I'm getting tripped up...and they're related to SAS Management Console.   1) In Management Console, when I create the OLE DB server, i need to provide a Datasource. Is this not a database on the SQL server we wish to connect to. Example: "SQL Server\Database" 2) The document says to provide "SQLNCI11" as the 'Provider'. Is this always the case or should I look for something else?   The error I'm getting is "ERROR: Error trying to establish connection: Unable to create Data Source.: Class not registered". This appears in the log right after the log writes out the Provider and Datasource which is why I believe I have one of these wrong.   Any suggestions?   Thanks! -Jeff   ... View more

VA 7.3   Good morning community,   We've got a situation where we want users to select a value from Drop-Down List 1 and have that value used as the 'default' (or what is initially provided in the window) of Drop-Down List 2. We do _not_ want the value of Drop-Down List 1 to filter Drop-Down List 2 so that is is filtered to only show what was passed from Drop-Down List 1 (from either a parameter or interaction).   Is there a way to have Drop-Down Lists default to a specific value while still retaining all the possible options of the list?   Thanks, -Jeff ...

VA 7.3   Community, I've got a situation where I'm using some controls as 'hold variables' as it were holding lists of data if need be...which is why I use drop-downs.   The goal is for an individual to freely enter text for a course they're interested in, then the report produces all of the areas of study within the major that the desired course falls under.   Here's a sample source data:   In the example below, a user is interested in Kinesiology courses, but may not recall that major, only that they are currently interested in 'Athletic Training/Trainer'.   The top input box accepts 'Athl', and when they hit 'enter', I use a parameter to basically scan all the 'CIP_Title' values for anything that contains the values from the input box. This works, and to proceed in this example, I've simply confirmed 'Athletic Training/Trainer' in the drop-down.   This first drop-down has an interaction on the second drop-down and is assigned Major as the category, so the value in drop-down 2 is dynamic depending on what is selected in drop-down 1. Drop-down 2 here also passes the Major value out to a major_parameter.   Drop-down 3 then has a filter of Major = Major_Parameter, so its list is all the CIP_Titles that equate to the same major. In this example, we see the three titles we would expect for the major 'Kinesiology'.     The above works fine. A user can input the name of a title they're aware of, then VA uses these drop-down controls to filter the data to output all the other titles within the same major.   However...this is no good for a user. I would like a way for the middle two controls to either be hidden or handled in another manner so they aren't seen. Ideally, a user would have the input box, then the last drop-down list.   Is there a way to do this? Are there 'hidden' data types available to store these dynamic lists in? Can a container 'hide' a control so it isn't accessible to a user, but is to the report? I would even be satisfied if I could 'collapse' the objects enough with the pane sliders as to not be seen in the viewer.   What options am I missing?   Thanks! -Jeff ... View more
