Re: Writing 'Hello World' program in SAS.
If your site support group will not help you, either you need to change your goals or learn how to research things on your own. I'd start by using ISPF search (3.14 usually) on SYS1.PROCLIB to find out which procedures invoke SAS -- but then, I am a systems programmer with unlimited access to the s...

Re: Writing 'Hello World' program in SAS.
Thanks Robert. I have asked that support but they don't want to entertain such requests.

Re: VBS and VB for SORT JCL.
SORT should treat the VBS data set the same as a VB data set. The difference between VBS and VB is that the shortest block in a VBS will be no less than 4 bytes smaller than the block size, while a VB may have a block that is just under the LRECL shorter than the block size. For a data set defined ...

Writing 'Hello World' program in SAS.
Hi,
I plan to learn SAS. I recently came to know that in my project we have SAS available on mainframes. Could any one please guide me from where I can start writing SAS program so that it can help me to debug or enhance the existing SAS programs too?

REDIFINE in COBOL with different data-type.
Hi,
If I have a COBOL declaration like this:
and I do a numeric check on the WS- like this:
Will WS-B be considered as numeric value or not?
Is it a good coding practice?
If I have a COBOL declaration like this:
Code: Select all
01 WS-A PIC X(20) VALUES SPACES.
01 WS-B REDEFINES WS-A PIC 9(10).
Code: Select all
IF WS-B IS NUMERIC
do this
END-IF
Is it a good coding practice?
