+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+https://sasapps.io/contact-us.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
+version 2.0, available at
+https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html.

 # General Notes
 
 - All macros should be compatible with SAS versions from support level B and above (so currently 9.2 and later). If an earlier version is not supported, then the macro should say as such in the header documentation, and exit gracefully (eg `%if %sysevalf(&sysver<9.3) %then %return`).

-  For the sharp eyed readers - this is no longer a macro function!! It became

   @details Configures an abort mechanism according to site specific policies or
     the particulars of an environment.  For instance, can stream custom
     results back to the client in an STP Web App context, or completely stop
-    in the case of a batch run.
+    in the case of a batch run.  For STP sessions
+
+  The method used varies according to the context.  Important points:
+
+  @li should not use endsas or abort cancel in 9.4m3 environments as this can
+    cause hung multibridge sessions and result in a frozen STP server
+  @li should not use endsas in viya 3.5 as this destroys the session and cannot
+    fetch results (although both mv_getjoblog.sas and the @sasjs/adapter will
+    recognise this and fetch the log of the parent session instead)
+  @li STP environments must finish cleanly to avoid the log being sent to
+    _webout.  To assist with this, we also run stpsrvset('program error', 0)
+    and set SYSCC=0.  We take a unique "soft abort" approach - we open a macro
+    but don't close it!  This works everywhere EXCEPT inside a \%include inside
+    a macro.  For that, we recommend you use mp_include.sas to perform the
+    include, and then call \%mp_abort(mode=INCLUDE) from the source program (ie,
+    OUTSIDE of the top-parent macro).
 
-  Using SAS Abort Cancel mechanisms can cause hung sessions in some Stored
-  Process environments.  This macro takes a unique approach - we set the SAS
-  syscc to 0, run `stpsrvset('program error', 0)` (if SAS 9) and then - we open
-  a macro but don't close it!  This provides a graceful abort for SAS web
-  services in all web enabled environments.
 
   @param mac= to contain the name of the calling macro
   @param msg= message to be returned
   @param iftrue= supply a condition under which the macro should be executed.
+  @param errds= (work.mp_abort_errds) There is no clean way to end a process
+    within a %include called within a macro.  Furthermore, there is no way to
+    test if a macro is called within a %include.  To handle this particular
+    scenario, the %include should be switched for the mp_include.sas macro.
+    This provides an indicator that we are running a macro within a \%include
+    (`_SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE`) and allows us to provide a dataset with the abort
+    values (msg, mac).
+    We can then run an abort cancel FILE to stop the include running, and pass
+    the dataset back to the calling program to run a regular \%mp_abort().
+    The dataset will contain the following fields:
+    @li iftrue (1=1)
+    @li msg (the message)
+    @li mac (the mac param)
 
-  @version 9.4M3
+  @param mode= (REGULAR) If mode=INCLUDE then the &errds dataset is checked for
+    an abort status.
+    Valid values:
+    @li REGULAR (default)

+  @file
+  @brief Performs a text substitution on a file
+  @details Makes use of the GSUB function in LUA to perform a text substitution
+  in a file - either in-place, or writing to a new location.  The benefit of
+  using LUA is that the entire file can be loaded into a single variable,
+  thereby side stepping the 32767 character limit in a data step.
+
+  Usage:
+
+      %let file=%sysfunc(pathname(work))/file.txt;
+      %let str=replace/me;
+      %let rep=with/this;
+      data _null_;

+      data _null_;
+        infile "&file";
+        input;
+        list;
+      run;
+
+  @param file= (0) The file to perform the substitution on
+  @param patternvar= A macro variable containing the Lua
+    [pattern](https://www.lua.org/pil/20.2.html) to search for.  Due to the use
+    of special (magic) characters in Lua patterns, it is safer to pass the NAME
+    of the macro variable containing the string, rather than the value itself.
+  @param replacevar= The name of the macro variable containing the replacement
+    _string_.
+  @param outfile= (0) The file to write the output to. If zero, then the file
+    is overwritten in-place.

+/**
+  @file
+  @brief Performs a wrapped \%include
+  @details This macro wrapper is necessary if you need your included code to
+  know that it is being \%included.
+
+  If you are using %include in a regular program, you could make use of the
+  following macro variables:
+
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEDIR
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILENAME
+
+  However these variables are NOT available inside a macro, as documented here:
+https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/mcrolref/n1j5tcc0n2xczyn1kg1o0606gsv9.htm
+
+  This macro can be used in place of the %include statement, and will insert
+  the following (equivalent) global variables:
+
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEDIR
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILENAME
+
+  These can be used whenever testing _within a macro_.  Outside of the macro,
+  the regular automatic variables will still be available (thanks to a
+  concatenated file list in the include statement).
+
+  Example usage:
+
+      filename example temp;
+      data _null_;
+        file example;
+        put '%macro test();';
+        put '%put &=_SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+        put '%put &=SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+        put '%mend; %test()';
+        put '%put &=SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+      run;
+      %mp_include(example)
+
+  @param [in] fileref The fileref of the file to be included. Must be provided.
+  @param [in] prefix= (_) The prefix to apply to the global variables.
+  @param [in] opts= (SOURCE2) The options to apply to the %inc statement
+  @param [in] errds= (work.mp_abort_errds) There is no clean way to end a
+    process within a %include called within a macro.  Furthermore, there is no
+    way to test if a macro is called within a %include.  To handle this
+    particular scenario, the %mp_abort() macro will test for the existence of
+    the `_SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE` variable and return the outputs (msg,mac) inside
+    this dataset.
+    It will then run an abort cancel FILE to stop the include running, and pass
+    the dataset back.
+    NOTE - it is NOT possible to read this dataset as part of _this_ macro -
+    when running abort cancel FILE, ALL macros are closed, so instead it is
+    necessary to invoke "%mp_abort(mode=INCLUDE)" OUTSIDE of any macro wrappers.
