Whilst I often use the command line on Linux, it’s also nice to have icons in the menus to start SAS® applications like SAS Management Console and SAS Display Manager. These days I mostly use GNOME Do as an application launcher (its a bit like Quicksilver for Mac OS X). Naturally I like to be […]

NOXCMD: NO eXternal CoMmanDs!
SAS® platform administrators can get quite familiar with the SAS NOXCMD option, usually when someone asks why their programs that used to work (in a different SAS version or execution environment) are now failing.

SAS Platform Object Framework MakeFolder Metadata Utility
Back in July last year I posted MKDIRMD Macro: Creating Tree Folders in Metadata about a SAS macro I wrote to create tree folders in a SAS metadata repository using the SAS Open Metadata API. Just recently I discovered an alternative method using a utility already present in a SAS 9.2 installation: MakeFolder. I stumbled […]
