**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20201018:
- In the `%generatePackage()` macro new parameter `testResults=` pointing the location where tests results should be stored was added.
- Datasets provided by the `data` type can be reloaded with help of the `lazyData=` parameter.
- The way the dataset help is displayed was improved.
- In the testing process the note about quoted string length was turned off.
- Tests results (i.e. `log` and `lst` files) can be redirected to a different location and are stored in directories named: `test_packagename_yyyymmddthhmmss`.
- Documentation updated.
Packages recompiled with the new version of the SAS Packages Framework:
- SQLinDS (version 2.2)
- macroArray (version 0.6)
- DFA (version 0.2)
- BasePlus (version 0.7)
- dynMacroArray (version 0.2)
macroArray package, version 0.6:
New feature of the `%array()` macro. If the `macarray` parameter of the `%array()` macro is set to `M` then for a given array name the macro symbols table is scanned for macrovariables with prefix like the array name and numeric suffixes. Then the minimum and the maximum index is determined and all not existing global macrovariables are created and a macro is generated in the same way as it is generated for the `Y` value.
Documentation updated.

Packages recompiled with new version of SAS Packages Framework:

- getVars() modified to handle "long" lists of variables
- QuickSort functions added

- DFA (Dynamic Function Arrays) [0.2]

-new parameter `which=` added to the %do_over macro
- dynMacroArray [0.2]
New parameter added to the %do_over macro.
The `which=` is a _SPACE_ separated list of indexes which should be used, possible special characters are `H` and `L` which means high and low bound of an array, list could be set with colons(:) in form of start:end:by (no spaces between!), if by is omitted the default is 1. If possible use `1:5` rather `1 2 3 4 5` since the firs works faster.
