The *purpose of a package* is to be a simple, and easy to access, code sharing medium, which will allow: on the one hand, to separate the code complex dependencies created by the developer from the user experience with the final product and, on the other hand, reduce developer's and user's unnecessary frustration related to a remote deployment process.

Macro to load *additional content* for a SAS package, version `20230207`
A SAS package is a zip file containing a group
of SAS codes (macros, functions, data steps generating
data, etc.) wrapped up together and included by
a single `load.sas` file (also embedded inside the zip).
The `%loadPackageAddCnt()` macro loads additional content
for a package (of course only if one is provided).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### Parameters:
1. `packageName` *Required.* Name of a package, e.g. myPackage,
Required and not null, default use case:
`%loadPackageAddCnt(myPackage)`.
If empty displays this help information.
- `path=` *Optional.* Location of a package. By default it
looks for location of the **packages** fileref, i.e.
`%sysfunc(pathname(packages))`
- `target=` *Optional.* Location where the directory with
additional content will be generated,
name of the directory created is set to
`<packagename>_AdditionalContent`, the default
location is `%sysfunc(pathname(WORK))`
- `source2=` *Optional.* Option to print out details about
what is loaded, null by default.
- `requiredVersion=` *Optional.* Option to test if the loaded
package is provided in required version,
default value: `.`

By *default* additional content is not deployed automatically e.g.,
from security point of view, or production job doesn't need it to run, etc.
But if there is a need for it there are three ways to get it:
- The first one ("by-the-book"), and also the recommended one. The additional
content is extracted during the automatic installation process using the
`\%installPackage()` macro. For this to work the `loadAddCnt=` parameter
has to be set to `1`. The additional content is extracted to the
`<packageName>_AdditionalContent` directory into the same location where
the package is installed i.e., inside `packages` fileref location.
- The second one ("by-the-work"), when the additional content is extracted
during the loading process with the `\%loadPackage()` macro. For this to
work also the `loadAddCnt=` parameter has to be set to `1`. The additional
content is extracted to the `<packageName>_AdditionalContent` directory
inside the `Work` library location.
- The third one ("by-the-user"), when the additional content is extracted
with dedicated `%loadPackageAddCnt()` macro. By default the additional
content is extracted to the `<packageName>_AdditionalContent` directory
inside the `Work` library location too, but it can be altered by changing
the `target=` parameter, which indicates the location.
If done "by-the-book", or "by-the-user" with `target=` parameter, the
additional content is not automatically deleted when SAS session ends,
in this case the "additionals" have to be deleted manually by the User.
### Example 1 ##################################################################
Enabling the SAS Package Framework
from the local directory and installing & loading additional content
for the SQLinDS package.
Assume that the `SPFinit.sas` file
is located in the "C:/SAS_PACKAGES/" folder.
Run the following code in your SAS session:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
filename packages "C:/SAS_PACKAGES"; %* setup a directory for packages;
%include packages(SPFinit.sas); %* enable the framework;
%installPackage(SQLinDS) %* install the package from the Internet;
%loadPackageAddCnt(SQLinDS) %* load additional content for the package;
