SAS Packages Framework, version 20241102
Changes:
In the `%loadPackage()`, the `%ICEloadPackage()`, and the `%loadPackageAddCnt()` macros version of a package can be provided with a comparison condition.
If the required version is provided with a comparison operator, e.g., `<=`, `=`, or `>`, then the operator is used to compare `required` and `provided` versions.
The following example:
```sas
%loadPackage(myPackage
,requiredVersion=1.2.2=
)
```
will force to load the package only if the required version is exactly equal to the provided one.
Comparison is done in form "`req. comparison prov.`".
Documentation and HoW-materials updated.
#SAS Packages Framework, version `20241014`
## Changes
---
The [%generatePackage()]{https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/blob/main/SPF/SPFinit.md#generatepackage} macro accepts two new code types:
- `DS2PCK` for Proc DS2 packages, and
- `DS2THR` for Proc DS2 threads.
Those two new types allow to add `PROC DS2` *threads* and *packages* to a SAS package.
---
The [%loadPackage()]{https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/blob/main/SPF/SPFinit.md#loadpackage} macro has new parameter:
- `DS2force` - when set to `1` an existing data set named the same as thread or package is overwritten by DS2 file.
While loading a package that contains `PRCO DS2` code, by default, if there already exist a SAS data set with the same name (which is not a DS2 thread or package file) a warning is issued in the log and the thread/package data set is not generated. To force overwrite, set the `DS2force=` parameter of the `%loadPackage()` macro to 1.
---
Minor updates and fixes:
- Proc `sql` "drop table" replaced with `fedsqsl`'s for data sets deletion.
- Proc `iml`, `fcmp`, and `proto` code blocks end with `quit;` statement.
---
[Documentation]{https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/tree/main/SPF/Documentation} and [Hands-on-Workshops materials]{https://github.com/yabwon/HoW-SASPackages} updated.

Return value has the following form: `<number of successes>.<number of failures>` The macro variable is created as a *global* macro variable.
- Documentation updated.
