 ## Installation
 
 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:
 
 ```sas
-options insert=(sasautos="/your/path/macrocore/base");
-options insert=(sasautos="/your/path/macrocore/meta");
+%let repoloc=/your/path/core;
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/base");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/ddl");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/fcmp");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/lua");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/meta");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/metax");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/server");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/viya");
+options insert=(sasautos="&repoloc/xplatform");
 ```
 
 The above can be done directly in your sas program, via an autoexec, or an initialisation program.

 * mp_testservice.sas to be renamed as mp_execute.sas (as it doesn't actually test anything)
 * `insert_cmplib` option of mcf_xxx macros will be deprecated (the option is now checked automatically with value inserted only if needed)

+* mp_getddl.sas to be renamed to mp_ds2ddl.sas (consistent with other ds2xxx macros).  A wrapper macro is already in place, and you are able to use this immediately.  The default for SHOWLOG will also be YES instead of NO.

+  @details From our experience in [Data Controller for SAS]
+  (https://datacontroller.io) deployments, the E8601DT26.6 datetime format has
+  the widest support when it comes to pass-through SQL queries.
+
+  However, it is not supported in WPS or early versions of SAS 9 (M3 and below)
+  when used as a datetime literal, eg:

+      data _null_;
+        demo="%sysfunc(datetime(),E8601DT26.6)"dt;
+        demo=;
+      run;
+
+  This macro will therefore return DATEITME19.3 as an alternative format
+  based on the runtime environment so that it can be used in such cases, eg:

+/**
+  @file
+  @brief Splits a file of ANY SIZE by reference to a search string.
+  @details Provide a fileref and a search string to chop off part of a file.
+
+  Works by reading in the file byte by byte, then marking the beginning and end
+  of each matched string, before finally doing the chop.
+
+  Choose whether to keep the FIRST or the LAST section of the file.  Optionally,
+  use an OFFSET to fix the precise chop point.
+
+  Usage:

+
+  @param [in] infile The QUOTED path to the file on which to perform the chop
+  @param [in] matchvar= Macro variable NAME containing the string to split by

+    @li START - chop at the beginning of the string in `matchvar`.
+    @li END - chop at the end of the string in `matchvar`.
+  @param [in] offset= (0) An adjustment to the precise chop location, by
+    by reference to the `matchpoint`. Should be a positive or negative integer.
+  @param [in] keep= (FIRST) Valid values:
+    @li FIRST - keep the section of the file before the chop
+    @li LAST - keep the section of the file after the chop
+  @param [in] mdebug= (0) Set to 1 to provide macro debugging

+  @file
+  @brief Returns a unique hash for each file in a directory
+  @details Hashes each file in each directory, and then hashes the hashes to
+  create a hash for each directory also.
+
+  This makes use of the new `hashing_file()` and `hashing` functions, available
+  since 9.4m6. Interestingly, those functions can be used in pure macro, eg:
+
+      %put %sysfunc(hashing_file(md5,/path/to/file.blob,0));
+
+  Actual usage:
+
+      %let fpath=/some/directory;
+
+      %mp_hashdirectory(&fpath,outds=myhash,maxdepth=2)
+
+      data _null_;
+        set work.myhash;
+        put (_all_)(=);
+      run;
+
+  Whilst files are hashed in their entirety, the logic for creating a folder
+  hash is as follows:
+
+  @li Sort the files by filename (case sensitive, uppercase then lower)
+  @li Take the first 100 hashes, concatenate and hash
+  @li Concatenate this hash with another 100 hashes and hash again
+  @li Continue until the end of the folder.  This is the folder hash
+  @li If a folder contains other folders, start from the bottom of the tree -
+    the folder hashes cascade upwards so you know immediately if there is a
+    change in a sub/sub directory
+  @li If a subfolder has no content (empty) then it is ignored. No hash created.
+  @li If the file is empty, it is also ignored / no hash created.
+  @li If the target directory (&inloc) is empty, &outds will also be empty

+  @brief Loads a format catalog from a staging dataset
+  @details When loading staged data, it is common to receive only the records
+  that have actually changed.  However, when loading a format catalog, if
+  records are missing they are presumed to be no longer required.
+
+  This macro will augment a staging dataset with other records from the same
+  format, to prevent loss of data - UNLESS the input dataset contains a marker
+  column, specifying that a particular row needs to be deleted (`delete_col=`).
+
+  This macro can also be used to identify which records would be (or were)
+  considered new, modified or deleted (`loadtarget=`) by creating the following
+  tables:
+
+  @li work.outds_add
+  @li work.outds_del
+  @li work.outds_mod
+
+  For example usage, see mp_loadformat.test.sas
+
+  @param [in] libcat The format catalog to be loaded
+  @param [in] libds The staging table to load
+  @param [in] loadtarget= (NO) Set to YES to actually load the target catalog
+  @param [in] delete_col= (_____DELETE__THIS__RECORD_____) The column used to
+    mark a record for deletion.  Values should be "Yes" or "No".
+  @param [out] auditlibds= (0) For change tracking, set to the libds of an audit
+    table as defined in mddl_dc_difftable.sas
+  @param [in] locklibds= (0) For multi-user (parallel) situations, set to the
+    libds of the DC lock table as defined in the mddl_dc_locktable.sas macro.
+  @param [out] outds_add= (0) Set a libds here to see the new records added
+  @param [out] outds_del= (0) Set a libds here to see the records deleted
+  @param [out] outds_mod= (0) Set a libds here to see the modified records
+  @param [in] mdebug= (0) Set to 1 to enable DEBUG messages and preserve outputs

+
+  It is not designed to be efficient - it is designed to be effective,

+
+  The macro will also cause errors if the data contains (non-special) missings

-/**
-  @file
-  @brief Provides a replacement for the stpsrv_header function
-  @details The stpsrv_header is normally a built-in function, used to set the
-  headers for SAS 9 Stored Processes as documented here:
-  https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/itechcdc/9.4/stpug/srvhead.htm
-
-  The purpose of this custom function is to provide a replacement when running
-  similar code as a web service against
-  [sasjs/server](https://github.com/sasjs/server).  It operates by creating a
-  text file with the headers.  The location of this text file is determined by
-  a macro variable (`sasjs_stpsrv_header_loc`) which needs to be injected into
-  each service by the calling process, eg:
-
-      %let sasjs_stpsrv_header_loc = C:/temp/some_uuid/stpsrv_header.txt;
-
-  Note - the function works by appending headers to the file.  If multiple same-
-  named headers are provided, they will all be appended - the calling process
-  needs to pick up the last one.  This will mean removing the attribute if the
-  final record has an empty value.
-
-  The function takes the following (positional) parameters:
-
-  | PARAMETER | DESCRIPTION |
-  |------------|-------------|
-  | name $  | name of the header attribute to create|
-  | value  $  | value of the header attribute|
-
-  It returns 0 if successful, or -1 if an error occured.
-
-  Usage:
-
-      %let sasjs_stpsrv_header_loc=%sysfunc(pathname(work))/stpsrv_header.txt;
-
-      %mcf_stpsrv_header(wrap=YES, insert_cmplib=YES)
-
-      data _null_;
-        rc=stpsrv_header('Content-type','application/text');
