+# 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.

+# Contributing
+
+Contributions are warmly welcomed!  To avoid any misunderstandings, do please first discuss the change you wish to make via issue, email, or any other method with the owners of this repository before submitting a PR.
+
+Please note we have a [code of conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct/), please follow it in all your interactions with the project.
+
+# Environment Setup
+
+This repository makes use of the [SASjs](https://sasjs.io) framework for code organisation, compilation, documentation, and deployment.  The following tools are highly recommended:
+
+* [NPM](https://sasjs.io/windows/#npm) - the runtime and dependency manager for [SASjs CLI](https://cli.sasjs.io) (batteries included)
+* [VSCode](https://sasjs.io/windows/#vscode) - feature packed IDE for code editing (warning - highly effective!)
+* [GIT](https://sasjs.io/windows/#git) - a safety net you cannot (and should not) do without.
+
+For generating the documentation (`sasjs doc`) it is also necessary to install [doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/install.html).
+
+
+To get configured:
+
+1.  Clone the repository
+2.  Install local dependencies (`npm install`)
+3.  Install the SASjs CLI globally (`npm install -g @sasjs/cli`)
+4.  Add a target, and authentication (`npm add`).  See [docs](https://cli.sasjs.io/add/).
+
+To contribute:
+
+1.  Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b myfeature`)
+2.  Make your change
+3.  Update the `all.sas` file (`python3 build.py`)
+4.  Push and make a PR
+

+# Security Policy
+
+Security is an extremely high priority when it comes to the SASjs product suite.  We take a number of steps across all repositories to minimise risk, such as:
+
+* Regular dependabot updates
+* Snyk reports
+* Minimising dependencies, especially production dependencies (sasjs/core has NONE)
+* Testing & Code review process
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+We support only the latest version
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+We welcome disclosures of all kinds in relation to all the SASjs libraries.  You can submit them here: [https://sasapps.io/contact-us](https://sasapps.io/contact-us)

+### LUA library
 
-First, download the repo to a location your SAS system can access. Then update your sasautos path to include the components you wish to have available,eg:
+Wait - this is a macro library - what is LUA doing here?  Well, it is a little known fact that you CAN run LUA within a SAS Macro.  It has to be written to a text file with a `.lua` extension, from where you can `%include` it.  So, without using the `proc lua` wrapper.
+
+To contribute, simply write your freeform LUA in the LUA folder.  Then run the `build.py`, which will convert your LUA into a data step with put statements, and create the macro wrapper with a `ml_` prefix.  You can then use your module in any program by running:
+
+```sas
+/* compile the lua module */
+%ml_yourmodule()
+
+/* Execute.  Do not use the restart keyword! */
+proc lua;
+submit;
+  print(yourStuff);
+endsubmit;
+run;
+```

+All macros must be commented in the doxygen format, to enable the [online documentation](https://core.sasjs.io).
 
-## Coding Standards
+#### Dependencies
+SAS code can contain one of two types of dependency - SAS Macros, and SAS Includes.  When compiling projects using the [SASjs CLI](https://cli.sasjs.io) the doxygen header is scanned for `  @li` items under the following headers:
+
+```sas
+  <h4> SAS Macros </h4>
+  @li mf_nobs.sas
+  @li mm_assignlib.sas
+
+  <h4> SAS Includes </h4>
+  @li somefile.ddl SOMEFREF
+  @li someprogram.sas FREFTWO
+```
+
+The CLI can then extract all the dependencies and insert as precode (SAS Macros) or in a temp engine fileref (SAS Includes) when creating SAS Jobs and Services.
+
+When contributing to this library, it is therefore important to ensure that all dependencies are listed in the header in this format.
+
+
+### Coding Standards
 
 - Indentation = 2 spaces. No tabs!
+- no trailing white space
+- no invisible characters, other than spaces. If invisibles are needed, use hex literals.
 - Macro variables should not have the trailing dot (`&var` not `&var.`) unless necessary to prevent incorrect resolution
-- The closing `%mend;` should not contain the macro name.
+- The closing `%mend;` should **not** contain the macro name.
 - All macros should be defined with brackets, even if no variables are needed - ie `%macro x();` not `%macro x;`
 - Mandatory parameters should be positional, all optional parameters should be keyword (var=) style.
 - All dataset references must be 2 level (eg `work.blah`, not `blah`). This is to avoid contention when options [DATASTMTCHK](https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000279064.htm)=ALLKEYWORDS is in effect.
 - Avoid naming collisions! All macro variables should be local scope. Use system generated work tables where possible - eg `data ; set sashelp.class; run; data &output; set &syslast; run;`
+- The use of `quit;` for `proc sql` is optional unless you are looking to benefit from the timing statistics.
 
-# General Notes
+## 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`).

   @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.
-  
-  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.
+    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).
+
 
   @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)
+    @li INCLUDE

+  SYSCC to 1008 if bad records are found, and call mp_abort.sas for a
+  graceful service exit (configurable).
+
+  Used for dynamic filtering in [Data Controller for SAS®](https://datacontroller.io).
+
+  Usage:
+
+      %mp_filtercheck(work.filter,targetds=sashelp.class,outds=work.badrecords)
+
+  The input table should have the following format:
+
+  |GROUP_LOGIC:$3|SUBGROUP_LOGIC:$3|SUBGROUP_ID:8.|VARIABLE_NM:$32|OPERATOR_NM:$10|RAW_VALUE:$4000|

+  |AND|AND|1|SEX|<=|'M'|
+  |AND|OR|2|Name|NOT IN|('Jane','Alfred')|
+  |AND|OR|2|Weight|>=|7|
+
+  Rules applied:
+
+  @li GROUP_LOGIC - only AND/OR
+  @li SUBGROUP_LOGIC - only AND/OR
+  @li SUBGROUP_ID - only integers
+  @li VARIABLE_NM - must be in the target table
+  @li OPERATOR_NM - only =/>/</<=/>=/BETWEEN/IN/NOT IN/NE/CONTAINS
+  @li RAW_VALUE - no unquoted values except integers, commas and spaces.
+
+  @returns The &outds table containing any bad rows, plus a REASON_CD column.
+
+  @param [in] inds The table to be checked, with the format above
+  @param [in] targetds= The target dataset against which to verify VARIABLE_NM.
+    This must be available (ie, the library must be assigned).
+  @param [out] abort= (YES) If YES will call mp_abort.sas on any exceptions
+  @param [out] outds= The output table, which is a copy of the &inds. table
+    plus a REASON_CD column, containing only bad records.  If bad records found,
+    the SYSCC value will be set to 1008 (general data problem).  Downstream

+  https://datacontroller.io). The input table should be in the format below:
+
+  |GROUP_LOGIC:$3|SUBGROUP_LOGIC:$3|SUBGROUP_ID:8.|VARIABLE_NM:$32|OPERATOR_NM:$10|RAW_VALUE:$4000|
+  |---|---|---|---|---|---|

+  |AND|OR|2|Name|NOT IN|('Jane','Alfred')|
+  |AND|OR|2|Weight|>=|7|
+
+  Note - if the above table is received from an external client, the values
+  should first be validated using the mp_filtercheck.sas macro to avoid risk
+  of SQL injection.
+
+  To generate the filter, run the following code:

+        input GROUP_LOGIC:$3. SUBGROUP_LOGIC:$3. SUBGROUP_ID:8. VARIABLE_NM:$32.

+  >   AND
+  >     SEX <= 'M'
+  > ) AND (
+  >     Name NOT IN ('Jane','Alfred')

+  @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:

+        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.
