yabwon e00353e693 SAS Packages Framework, version 20201018
**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)

SAS Packages:

To get started with SAS Packages try this Getting Started with SAS Packages presentation (see the ./SPF/Documentation directory).

Available packages:

Currently the following packages are available:


  • SQLinDS[2.2], based on Mike Rhoads' article Use the Full Power of SAS in Your Function-Style Macros. The package allows to write SQL queries in the data step, e.g.
data class;
  set %SQL(
    select age, name, weight, height 
    from sashelp.class 
    order by age
    );
    
    WH = weight + height;
run;

  • DFA (Dynamic Function Arrays)[0.2], contains set of macros and FCMP functions which implement: a dynamically allocated array, a stack, a fifo queue, an ordered stack, and a priority queue, run %helpPackage(DFA,createDFArray) to find examples.
%createDFArray(ArrDynamic, resizefactor=17); 

data _null_;
  call ArrDynamic("Allocate", -2, 2);

  do i = -2 to 2;
    call ArrDynamic("Input", i, 2**i);
  end;

  L = .; H = .;
  call ArrDynamic("Dim", L, H);
  put L= H=;

  call ArrDynamic("+", 3, 8);
  call ArrDynamic("+",-3, 0.125);
  call ArrDynamic("Dim", L, H);
  put L= H=;

  Value = .;
  do i = L to H;
    call ArrDynamic("O", i, Value);
    put i= Value=;
  end;
run;

  • macroArray[0.6], implementation of an array concept in a macro language, e.g.
  %array(ABC[17] (111:127), macarray=Y); 
  
  %macro test();
    %do i = 1 %to 17; 
      %put &i.) %ABC(&i.); 
    %end;
  %mend;
  %test() 
  
  %let %ABC(13,i) = 99999; /* i = insert */

  %do_over(ABC, phrase=%nrstr( 
      %put &_i_.%) %ABC(&_i_.); 
      ),
      which = 1:H:2
  );

  • BasePlus[0.7] adds a bunch of functionalities I am missing in BASE SAS, such as:
call arrMissToRight(myArray); 
call arrFillMiss(17, myArray); 
call arrFill(42, myArray); 

rc = delDataset("DataSetToDrop"); 

string = catXFn("date9.", "#", myArray);

format x bool.;

%put %getVars(sashelp.class, pattern = ght$, sep = +, varRange = _numeric_);

  • dynMacroArray[0.2], set of macros (wrappers for a hash table) emulating dynamic array in the data step (macro predecessor of DFA)
