+# 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.

+
+# 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).
 
 
-## Code of Conduct
+To get configured:
 
-### Our Pledge
+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/).
 
-In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
-contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
-our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
-size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
-orientation.
+To contribute:
 
-### Our Standards
+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
 
-Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
-include:

-behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
-response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
-
-Project maintainers 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, or to ban temporarily or
-permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,

-when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
-representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
-address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
-representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
-further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
-
-### Enforcement
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported by contacting the project team at support@macropeople.com. All
-complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
-is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
-obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
-Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

+**lua** library
+
+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:
+
+```
+/* 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).
+
+### 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
 
 - 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.  For 9.4m3 we take a unique approach - we open a macro
+    but don't close it!  This provides a graceful abort, EXCEPT when called
+    called within a %include within a macro (and that macro contains additional
+    logic).  See mp_abort.test.nofix.sas for the example case.
+    If you know of another way to gracefully abort a 9.4m3 STP session, we'd
+    love to hear about it!

+  @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,

+  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|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:
