3 A SAS Installation's Critics Roland E. Forster SEUGI 8S: Announcement of the new Version S Software. All the new products (AF, IML, Display Manager) and the revised old products (SAS/GRAPH, FSP) were presented. The expectations of the new version were huge. At the same time Version 6 Software of PC DOS was announced, and again the expectation was high. The delivery of these new products was promised for end of 8S. SEUGI 86: Time for a critical review on what really happened last year. What about Version S's teething troubles, which really caused some troubles for the installations? Two years ago an Installation's Representative could nearly deny any faults in the SAS System. For Version S this was not at all the case. All we could do was to report one fault after the other to SAS Institute. We can conclude from this experience that the delivery of Version S Software was too early. Or in other words: The announcements should not press the software delivery to such a,rl extent data wrangling, data science source 6

5 An Alternative Technique for Analyzing System Paging Workloads H. Pat Artis The presentation of paging data to management in an easily understood form has been a persistent problem. This paper examines a graphical technique for presenting paging data activity as a relative fraction of the system's total I/O activity. This technique will also be used to comment on the benefits of paging into Expanded Storage on the new IBM 3090 series of processors. 1.0 Introduction Paging is a complex activity that can consume a significant portion of a system's overall capacity. As such, paging is a significant factor in system performance that must be included in any management reporting scheme. Historically, most analysts have chosen to report paging rate as an indicator of system paging activity. The use of paging rate as a management reporting indicator makes the implicit assumption that the reader of the report is aware of some range of paging values that are ideal for the reported system sample, proc step source 4
6 An Introduction to SAS/IML Software, an Interactive Matrix Language Mogens Weinreich SAS/IML is an interactive matrix language that is both powerful and flexible. The fundamental data object on which all commands operate is a row by column matrix. Therefore, single elementwise operators such as + and / can operate on many data values to produce many results. In ·addition, there are commands to reduce many values to a single desired value, for example, SUM and SSQ, subscript reduction operators to reduce rows and columns within a matrix, and special matrix operators such as matrix multiplication, transpose, and inverse. You can control the execution of operators and commands using SAS/IML programming statements. SAS/IML subroutines allow you to decompose a large application into modules. There is a rich set of data management commands to transfer data to and from SASdatasets and there is a set of primitive graphics commands to construct graphical displays while you remain in the SAS/IML environment proc step, proc iml, data governance, response variable, conditional do loop source 8
7 An Introduction to SAS/QC Software Gerhard Held The improvement of product quality is a top priority for industry during the 1980's, and many companies are applying statistical quality control methods on an unprecedented large scale. SAS/QC software provides a set of tools for a wide variety of statistical quality control ·applications. These tools include PROC SHEWHART for producing Shewhart control charts, PROC CUSUM for producing cumulative sum control charts, and PROC CAPABILITY for process capability analysis proc step, dataset, sample, quality control, proc means, sample size, qq plot, histogram source 11

10 Batch Processing and Advanced Topics Using PROC FSCALC Hans Munch This paper covers using the FSCALC procedure, a feature of SAS/FSP software, in batch mode. Included is a guideline of when and how to set up a batch FSCALC job. Also cover'ed is a description of how to set up a spreadsheet to be used for calculations and sending reports. Using the 'special macro variables associated with some of the screens, such as the' FETCH screen, to facilitate working in a batch environment is also discussed. When should you use FSCALC in batch? You should consider using FSCALC in batch when you have a job that must be done repetitively over small periods of time. For instance, you would probably want to set up batch execution of FSCALC because you need to consolidate several spreadsheets every month. Any program that must be done every few days or even monthly that requires the same action every time is a prime candidate for batch processing. Another consideration is whether what-if analysis needs to be done macro variable, call symput, batch processing, batch job source 7
11 Computer Metrics Measuring and Managing the Performance, Resourses, and Costs of Large Computer Systems H. W. Barry Merrill Dr. H.W. Barry Merrill Merrill Consultants Managing and measuring the performance, resources, and costs of a large complex of central and distributed computers with distributed interactive users requires the establishment of repeatable, meaningful, and measurable service objectives (such as interactive respons~ time, batch turnaround, and availability). It requires accurate measures of resource consumption (processor time, I/O device activity, real memory utilization) by which the capacity to meet those service objectives can be acqu1rErl in the most timely fashion and at the most cost-effective rate. A case study describes a cost-effective measurement system that captures and analyzes data and answers typical management questions with interactive graphical reporting. The configuration and workload of the computer system are also described bufno, cpu time, capacity planning, regression analysis source 33

13 Enhancing SAS/GRAPH Procedure Output with the ANNOTATE Facility Henrik Dorf Author Charles W. Kelly, SAS Institute Inc. First presented at SUGI 11 A powerful feature of the annotate facility is the capacity of using the system of coordinates generated by a graphics procedure to provide custom enhancements to the procedure output. This paper explores the use of the DATA STEP and the macro facility to add data-dependent, user-defined modifications to graphics output from the GSLlDE, GPLOT, and GMAP procedures. General Capabilities of the Annotate Facility SAS/GRAPHCE: software provides a powerful system of procedures for producing business graphics in a production environment. The graphics user can display information stored in a SAS data set by selecting a SAS/GRAPH procedure and providing appropriate statements and options. A fixed range of modifications are possible for each procedure when selected statements and options are used proc gplot, line chart, macro facility, proc gmap, macro variable, proc step source 18

22 Microcomputers and SYSTEM 2000 DBMS Paul Kent This paper discusses the integration of PC-based applications with larger data bases stored on mainframes. It addresses features already available in the SAS System and SYSTEM 2000 DBMS, as well as future direction of the interface. The functional requirements of a micro-to-host link are discussed, and features of the SAS System that make it useful as a link vehicle are placed in context. The benefits of the SAS end-to-end protocol that transfers both output and data are explored and compared with other approaches. The SAS micro-to-host link supports a variety of communication protocols, with the SAS System, or SYSTEM 2000 DBMS executing on the (IBM, CDC or Sperry) host. The different methods of connecting to these host computers are discussed. Potential applications of the link technology are examined, showing how one can integrate the features of the SAS System on the PC, with traditionally mainframe-based applications dataset, proc step source 4

27 SAS Macro "Meta" for Combining Independent Eestimators for Effect Size Efraim Daron This paper presents a SAS program which will do Meta Analysis. Meta Analysis is a technique used by research reviewers for research synthesis. The technique treats each study's outcome (which is expressed as an effect size or a correlation) as a dependent variable where study characteristics (such as type of sample, measures, experimental condition) are the independent variables. Hedges (1981,1982,1983) used a linear model approach to analyze effect size. This program is based upon his approach and can be used to obtain efficient estimates of effect size, fit linear models to effect size and test model specifications. In addition the program standardizes studies' outcome which might be reported in different forms (t, F, chi square, etc), and weights each study according to Hedges' method. The output of the program includes 1. Descriptive statistics of effect sizes 2. Chi square statistic to test homogeneity of effect sizes 3 effect size, correlation, confidence interval, standard deviation, sample, regression analysis source 12

29 SAS/SHARE Software: Concurrent Update of SAS Data Libraries Jack Wallace SAS/SHARE software allows multiple SAS users concurrent update access to SAS data libraries and members within the data libraries. The development project for this software was initiated in January of 1985. The product, which enhances the SAS -System under MVS and CMS, is currently in alpha test status at several installations. This paper gives an overview of the historical needs and the conceptual model and then describes in detail the SAS/SHARE software product. Actually, the product appears differently to different SAS users. The SAS programmer sees the product as another means of accessing a data library with new flexibility but with a few new restrictions and concerns as well. The server administrator, who ensures that the product is used properly in the organization, works with the new procedures SERVER and OPERATE provided with the product. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the implementation details proc step, libname statement, sas log, dataset, proc copy, proc sort, set statement, access control, sas programmer, proc contents source 9

42 Using the SYSTEM 2000 DBMS Query Language Catherine Lavery The basic SYSTEM 2000 software product provides solutions for the spectrum of Information Center needs. It features an integrated data dictionary, on-line query/update, report generator, relational data base access, and programming language interfaces. Integrated Data Dictionary The IDD (Integrated Data Dictionary) handles data base information and processes that are integral to data base management functions. The dictionary is at the core of SYSTEM 2000 DBMS and handles definition, communication", and control functions for SYSTEM 2000 data bases. All access to data bases through user views is authorized by dictionary security information. The dictionary can also store queries defined by the programmer or data base admlnlst"rator for subsequent recall. English-like Language (QUEST) The SYSTEM 2000 query/update (QUEST) language is especially useful for those who need ad hoc access to the data base and for applications developers who need data base testing and proto typing tools data dictionary, sample source 4
