" ". The SAS system has an increasing role inthe EDF (three hundred users) particularly . regarding its application facilities. . The range of the EDF average applications requires a tool which eases maintenance of the latteci. Such a tool, as of yet, does not exist in the SAS proposal. Furthermore, for its developments in F()rtran, EDF uses SOFfPEN, an engineering. software tools from SOFfPEN CORP company.SOFfPENhasbeen adapted for the development ofSAS dialogtieapplications:· . . . . The objective of the coupling developed by EDF is to enable the design,· the realization, the documentation and the maintenance of products developed in SAS and SAS/AF. This tool covers all the softWare life cycle. It inputs data to a maintenance database in order to describe the software from general design specification up to· automatic SAS language generation (mainly SCL).· |

The use of choice groups with extended tables is a new feature of Version 6.06 SAS/AF software. A choice group is a list of mutually exclusive items that users may select Extended tables are dynam ic tables that display information. This paper will discuss program ming techniques for generating dynamic selection lists to combine the features of choice groups with the features of extended tables. The discussion will include a more extensive definition of choice groups and extended tables. an explanation of how to set up choice groups and extended tables in a SAS/AF PROGRAM entry. and examples of Screen Control Language (SCl) programs that are easy to maintain and make applications more user-friendly. Definition of Choice Groups A choice group is a new feature of Version 6.06 SAS/AF software, and is an attribute of SASIAF PROGRAM entries. A choice group is a set of fields that are similar in nature, and are referenced in SCl by a single choice group name |

| 9 | Automatisation of Computer Performance Evaluation with MXG and SAS Software | Jean-Paul Tonnieau | In the chapter 35 of the "MERRILL'S EXPANDED GUIDE TO COMPUTER PERFOMANCE EVALUATION USING THE SAS SYSTEM", Barry MERRILL shows us a way to manage the PDB with about ten jobs. Running these jobs could cause problems in operations; How should I know which job is to be run today if some of these jobs have to run every day and some jobs, every week and other jobs, every month, and in addition, 3 of these jobs did not ran correctly the night before? How should I proceed to add new reports in the weekly PDB JOB ? To answer these questions, the GMF developped a SAS procedure with 2 SAS tables and a few MACROS. this subject has been discussed during Barry MERRIL's training, in PARIS 4,5 and 6 jully 1989. The french MXG club sent this procedure to Barry MERRILL, as a gift for for his coming in FRANCE | proc step, sysrc, dataset | source | 14 |

| 13 | DB2 and the SAS System - Information Delivery for the 1990s | Darius S. Baer | As IBM's strategic product for relational databases, Database 2 (~T"') excels by handling very large volumes of data, interfacing with on-line programming languages such as CICS, and ensuring data integrity through automatic backup and recovery techniques. No other database product offers the benefits inherent in DB2. ~ is recognized for its superb data management and reporting capabilities that facilitate enduser information delivery. SAS also offers a well designed, easy-to-use interface between DB2 and SAS, SAS/DB2, which expedites movement of data from DB2 into· desired reports with minimal time expense and maximal product delivered. By emphasizing the strengths of DB2 and SAS, successful information delivery can result. The DB2 database must be structured and designed to take advantage of the relational aspects of DB2 by using indexes and enforcing unique row identification. SAS code must be written to operate efficiently in the manipulation and summarization of data |

| 22 | Estimating Distribution Functions with the SAS System | J. Hefner, Werner Bundschuh |
In tIlis poster we are showing how to to estiniate and construct confidence intervalls and confidence bands for the cumulative distribution function. We are offering two solutions: the first one is a. classical approach using asymtotic results, the second one is using the Bootstrap method. Furthermore we have written a "procedure macro" for density estimation. We have integra.ted a FORTRAN subroutine (subroutine DDESJ{N of the IMSL progran~ library)whlcll computes kemel estimates for the density function. Introd tiction A simple but common need arises in data analysis when we have a single set of numbers, and we want to unterstand their basic characteristics as a collection of data. Graphical methods. described in the book of Chambers and Tukey are now implemented in some software packages (e.g. in JMP running on Macintosh - JMP isa software package for statistical graphics developed by SAS Institute) | bootstrap, macro definition, sample, probability distribution, sas function, proc step, confidence level, normal distribution | source | 16 |

| 27 | Handling of Open-Ended Questions Using the SAS System | B. M. Christensen | This paper deals with the handling of open-ended questions, using SAS. Two main points will be treated: Why use open-ended questions at all? How to handle open-ended questions? Open-ended questions: a matter of focusing Readings in survey design and in questionary construction repeatedly emphasize the importance of avoiding open-ended questions - and if they cannot be avoided then closing them as fast as possible. Responses to open-ended questions are troublesome to handle, they are difficult to interpret, and the computer cannot do the analyzing for you. But open-ended questions may have a right of their own, in spite of all the practical problems involved in using them. Asking open-ended, and seeking open-ended answers, is a way of looking at the world that differs from the way you investigate, when you ask with pre-defined answers to your questions. You might see asking open-ended as a matter of focusing as opposed to merely categorizing (or classifying) | put statement, dataset, binary variable, proc step, sample, label statement, macro definition | source | 12 |

| 32 | Multivariate Outlier Detection | Christian Derquenne | MULTIV ARIA TE OUlLIER DETECfION Christian DERQUENNE - Electricite de France Before running statistical methods, many people would like to know, if there are outliers in their initial data. At the moment, many methods of outlier(s) detection exist, but they are often used after running statistical methods or they require the normality of the initial data. Furthermore, a procedure for multivariate outlier detection does not exist in the SAS System. The process of the proposed method consists in building a new variable of distance between observations from the initial data. A new statistical test is then built which uses the new variable to detect one or several outlier(s). The proposed method has three advantages: - it detects the outlier(s) before the statistical method, - it works on univariate, bivariate and multivariate data, - it uses a robust and free test | outlier, data science, dataset, proc princomp, regression analysis, significance level, response variable, time series analysis | source | 9 |

| 34 | Performing Conjoint Analysis Using Proc Transreg | Bjarne Nielsen, Marcus Schmidt |
Conjoint Analysis is a frequently used tech nique when analyzing concepts for new products and/or services. According to a recent review of 1000 commer cial studies, more than 50% of the studies used OLS-regression (and about 10% Monotonic Analysis of Variance, LOGIT, and Linear Map ping respectively) - with regard to the esti mation procedure involved. The paper compares PROC REG and PROC TRANSREG as procedures for aggregating the data and estimating the conjoint-model. The aim of the empirical study involved was to help politicians to formulate appropriate po litical marketing strategies and the data were gathered prior to a political election |

| 38 | SAS Software at Boehringer Ingelheim Ltd. | Andrew Lawton | The Medical Division of BIL has been a user of PC-SAS for all of the clinical data management applications since it was introduced in 1985. We cur rently have 25 PC's on a Novell network with 11' "heavy" SAS users. With the release ofSAS 6.03 with AFin March 1988 we developed a Clinical Data Management System (CDMS), which has reached Version 3.0 in develop ment. In the development and use of CDMS, we have encountered numerous problems due to the memory constraints inherent in the PC/MS-DOS operating system which have all been overcome, but at a price! The price is increased programming costs, and slower processing in some programs. A decision was taken in Q3 1989 to find an alter native operating system and hardware which would give us the optimum performance when using SAS and require a minimum programming overhead. Con straints on the system were both budgetary and technical, and the systems considered were SUN-OS, HP-UX and OS/2. This paper discusses: 1.

| 39 | SAS Software Use at Hoogovens Ymuiden | Boertje Boertje-van Vrede, Jacob G. Goudsblom |
The Information Systems and Automation service group of Hoogovens IJmuiden (a large modern integrated steel company) develops guaranteed operational systems (IMS and DB2 based) and provides central (IBM) and decentral (DEC) computer facilities and enduser computing services. For enduser computing the corporate data are stored in a data warehouse (D82). There is a high speed network infrastructure and as much processing is directed towards the PC environment (PS/2's) as possible. The SAS system is used in the central com-pu-ting centre for computer performance and network evaluation, for technical and scientific computing and as a multipurpose enduser workbench. The presenter represents the 1100 mainframe SAS users at Hoogovens IJmuiden. His department standardized on SAS for cost saving reasons. However, it is a problem that under specific circumstances SAS/DB2 and SAS/IMS-DL/I (5.18) cause a waste of cpu time |

| 40 | SAS Software Version 6.06, Beta-test under VMS - 4 Months User Experience | Stephen J. Burman | This paper describes some of the experiences (good and not so good) of a group of regular SAS users at Pfizer Central Research (UK) charged with the task of assessing and gaining experience with the beta-test of SAS V6.06. This pharmaceutical research organisation has used SAS under VMS since its first implementation 8 years ago and currently licences most of the products available on VMS systems. The opportunity to experiment with a beta-test version of SAS 6.06 under VMS has allowed us to formally test certain components but more importaptlyhas been a valuable learning experience for us and has enabled us to assess its possible role in our clinical trials database system aswell as hopefully useful user-exposure for SAS. Experimentation in the area of SAS/AF, /FSP and the screen control language, developing small scale prototype applications, has been a particularly useful experience |

| 43 | Sharing SAS Data in a PC LAN Environment | Tony Payne | The SASe System, version 6.03 and beyond, provides powerful control of data editing sessions using the FSEDIT procedure with Screen Control Language (SCL). With more and more operating environments allowing concurrent access to data, the problem of controlling shared access needs to be addressed. The SAS Institute are providing SAS/SHARE· software to address these issues, but this is not yet available on all platforms. This paper details how, in a PC Local Area Network (LAN) environment, using SAS version 6.03 and BASIC, we addressed the issues of record and table locking and investigated the data integrity issues that arose. The results can be extended to other operating environments where shared access is desirable, but SAS/SHARE software is not available |

| 46 | Statistical Simulation with the SAS System | Gerd Antes | Whereas most simulation studies in the mathemati~al field are programmed in one of the classical languages (e.g. Fortran) an adequate tool for the data oriented researcher could be the SAS system. Using the macro facilities as a full-scale programming language allows direct use of those estimators and tests which are available in procedures. From this point or view SAS may be looked at as a subroutine library which offers a large variety of mcthods. Alternatives within SAS may be easier to program but do not allow to make direct use of SAS procedures and therefore require additional programming work. The extremely long programs generated by macros do not create serious problems as long as the general limitations of the SAS system are taken into account. Somc technical points have to be considered carefully but do not confine the use of macros in this context | proc step, macro facility, feature selection, bootstrap, sample, proc means, macro loop | source | 7 |

| 65 | Using Relational Databases (ORACLE and RD) Together with the SAS System on VMS | Thomas J. R. Emmerich | Mary worl<s for the headquarters of a national advertising firm. She has been asked to collect data from each of the satellite offices to produce a firm-wide marketing analysis. Although eacR office shares computer resources, each has chosen a different database manage ment system (DBMS). Some have selected RdbNMS: while others use Oracle: Mary herself prefers the SAS' System. While Mary has access to all the data she needs, they are all stored in incompatible formats and will require a lot of her time and resources to combine into one DBMS. If she could only find a way to bridge the communi cation gap and bring them all together, she could produce the reports she needs in minutes with the SAS Sys tem. With the release of Version 6 of the SAS System, Mary's problems are solved.

| 67 | Using SAS/DMI Software as a Case Tool when Developing User Friendly Information Systems | Christer Bodell | At The Deparment of "Applied Mathematics and Statistics" at Volvo Data AB statistical analysis with the help of SAS has been done for years. In general tables and graphs have been produced after end user specifications, but als? many end-user applications have been developed. This usually though only at times when much cost is put into data collection and there are several users interested in the data. Experience has shown that very often the same type of information is requested, regardless of survey. With the help of SAS/DMI, some generic SAS-programs and a SAS data set containing information about the survey (variable names, lengths, formats etc) building blocks for an end user application can be generated. These generated blocks integrated with some standard SAS macros and a touch of tailoring can give an end user,o,an information system with total flexibility and yet user friendliness for his/her specific survey data.
