Communication

~AACUPDATE ISAAC (Information System for Advanced Aca­demic Computing) is an electronic bulletin board and database devoted to information about the use of IBM-compatible hardware and software in instruction and research at the higher-education level. Designed and operated at the University of Washington, ISAAC is funded by IBM, and is available free of charge to faculty, staff, and students at any institution of higher education.

Since our newsletter article last year, ISAAC has expanded to nearly 6,000 database entries and over 2,800 software abstracts. There are now over 10,000 participants, including over 660 foreign users, from approximately 1,650 colleges and universities. People in higher education from across the country and around the world are currently exchanging information on ISAAC at the rate of nearly 100 entries each week!

The ISAAC bulletin board forums now offer 26 topics for user participation, including Basic Skills, Education, Telecommunications, Windows, and Computer Integrated Manufacturing. Forum entries include ongoing group discussions, advice about hardware or software used in academic computing, and descriptions of relevant campus projects.

ISAAC provides information about specific soft­ware packages; an on-line forum for discussion among colleagues; descriptions of recent projects which have used computers in instruction and research (and addresses for the principal research­ers on those projects); and cataloged sources of software and software reviews.

SPCS users are eligible for ISAAC membership. To join, write or phone:

ISAAC Applications, ms/FC-o6 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 (206) 543-5604

or send a note via Bitnet to isaac @ uwaee. Further information and application forms are available at our Help Desk. A

voTE HINTS

If you UJe our Main Menu system (the Project­Group command) to send notes (PF3 Send Mail), you can add special commands to your notes to carry out particular functions. Each of these commands consists of a period followed by two or three letters, and must begin in the left-most column of a line. The command must stand alone on a line, but the line can be inserted anywhere within the text of the note. The command does not become part of the text.

.ak

sends an acknowledgement to you indicating the date and time a note was received.

.cc names

sends a copy of the note to additional names, where names is one or more electronic address names, nicknames, or distribution list names. The names must be separated by spaces.

.pf filename filetype

If you're not ready to send the note you've been working on or if you want to send it but also want to work with it later, use the . pf command to put the subject and text of the note in a file with the specified filenmne filetype. Later, use the command . gf filen~~me filetype to get the note back.

.wh

If you are sending notes to several people, use the . wh command to see whom you have made addressees. If you used a distribution list, all the names in the list will be displayed. A

Communication

SPCS is a member of Bl'INET, the international network of educational computers. Currently, nearly 3000 computers, representing about 500 institutions, belong to this network. Bl'INET utilizes existing equipment at participating institu­tions, and offers every member of the network the ability to communicate directly with all other members. SPCS is also connected to the Internet, a collection of linked networks that adhere to com­mon addressing schemes and networking proto­cols.

As networks grow and more people begin using electronic mail, guidelines for network use become more important. To assure equitable resource allocation, BilNET directors have established standard guidelines for network use:

~ Commercial use is strictly forbidden. All use of Bl'INET must be consistent with its goal to facilitate the exchange of non-commercial information in support of a member institu­tion's mission of education and research.

~ File transmissions are limited to 300,000 bytes (3,750 eighty-character records) regardless of the time of day. Users with larger files may divide them into a number of smaller files of 300,000 bytes or less, and transmit them at appropriate intervals.

~ Do not abuse the facility for sending messages (TELL command). Since interactive messages take precedence over all other transmissions, extensive use of messaging can block the flow of BilNET traffic.

~ Proprietary software may not be sent over BilNET.

~ Random mailing (junk mail), casual contacts ("Who are you?" messages), and job solicitations are discouraged.

Abuses should be reported to the SPCS staff. Network privileges may be revoked for delinquent users . .&

Microcomputer Labs

VrHER ST. pAUL LABS

The Microcomputer and Workstation Networks Center (MWNC) manages two labs on the St. Paul Campus: one in 135 Oassroom Office Building (624-9226), and the other in 69 McNeal Hall (624-5367). Current stu­dents, faculty, and staff can use these labs (and any of the other University labs) for $30 per quarter. To use any of the labs, you must buy a Microcomputer Access Card each quarter and present it with a current univer­sity ID to the lab attendants. The Microcomputer Access Card may be used only by the original purchaser, and that person's signature and ID stamp should appear on the card.

Instructors can reserve all or a portion of these labs for instructional use. Generally, instructors can reserve a lab for a short period of time at no cost, and extended use can be negotiated. To reserve one of these labs, contact Jamil Jabr at 624-7766.

The College of Agriculture oversees the microcomputer lab in 310 Alderman Hall. This lab is not open to the general University population, but can be reserved by instructors for class use. For more infonnation, contact Linda Jorn at 625-2780. A

ST. PAUL MICROCOMPUTER LAB

The St. Paul Microcomputer Lab is open to all students, staff, and faculty members of the University of Minnesota who possess a Microcomputer Access Card (available from any Bursar's Office for $30 per quarter). A Microcomputer Access Card is only valid during the quarter in which it is purchased. High quality printing is available on the Apple LaserWriter Plus, an HP LaserJet Plus, and an HP ColorPro Plotter. To use one of these printers, you'll need a Laser Printer Access Card, available for $1.00 from the Bursar's Office. Each Printer Access Card is good for ten pages of manuscript-quality print and can be used any time. The lab is operated on a first-come, first-served basis, and each user is limited to 2 hours per session.

"ll7 I have several variables in my dataset and some of the missing values were coded as 999. I need to V change all values of 9 9 9 to missing. What's the best way to do this? v A series of IF statements (cme IF statement for each variable) is the oimplest way to change values.

Original oersio•

DATA NEW; SET NOV89;

IF DATE - 999 THEN DATE • I

IF TIME - 999 THEN TIME - • I

IF SITE - 999 THEN SITE • I

IF REP - 999 THEN REP • I

IF TEMP - 999 THEN TEMP • I

IF WINDSPD • 999 THEN WINDSPD • • I

IF WINDDIR • 999 THEN WINDDIR • • I

IF BAR - 999 THEN BAR . ,

By defining an array, you can process a large number of variables more easily. An array is useful when a group of variables are to be processed in a similar fashion. In Reuision 11, READINGS { 1} is DATE, READINGS { 2 } is TIME, etc., so the DO loop changes the value 9 9 9 to missing for each variable.

Reuision 11

DATA NEW; SET NOV89; ARRAY READINGS { 8} DATE TIME SITE REP TEMP WINDSPD WINDDIR BAR;

DO I•l TO 8; IF READINGS{!} • 999 THEN READINGS{!} • .;

END; DROP I;

You could further condense the code by using the two-hyphen shortcut(-) in the list of variables (this is especially useful when many variables are involved), as in this version:

Revision 12

DATA NEW; SET NOV89; ARRAY READINGS { 8} DATE--BAR;

DO I•l TO 8; IF READINGS{!) • 999 THEN READINGS{!) • .,

END; DROP I;

~ve written a Proc OORMAT for a particular SAS job that works fine when I run that job. However, when I V ~ant to use the same format in another SAS job, I have to re-run Proc FORMAT to recreate it. Is there a way to store this format, so that I don't have to run Proc FORMAT each time I run a different job?

~es. In CMS, all user-written formats are written as TEXT files (whether they're temporary or pennanent). T ~en SAS executes a P roc FORMAT without a specified library, the formats created are temporary and are erased at the end of the session. To permanently store formats, specify LIBRARY - LIBRARY in the P roc FORMAT statement.

PROC FORMAT LIBRARY • LIBRARY; VALUE DIRFT

1 • 'North' 2 - 'South' 3 - 'East' 4 - 'West';

VALUE SEXFT 1 - 'Male' 2 - 'Female'

OTHER • 'Miscoded';

NOTE: any name am be specified after UBRARY =, but SAS recommends UBRARY = UBRARY.

Suppose you want to save these two formats, called DIRFT and SEXFT. Running the Proc FORMAT creates files called DIRFT TEXT and SEXFT TEXT.

You can group formats in a special filetype called TXTLIB, using the CMS TXTLIB command. A TXTLm is most practical if you have many formats that will be used in a number of SAS Procedures. To group these TEXT files, issue this command from CMS:

TXTLIB GEN LIBRARY DIRFT SEXFT

To save disk space, you can delete the TEXT files after the TXTLIB has been created. In other SAS jobs, you can use the formats without running the Proc FORMAT, as in this example:

I PROC PRINT I VAR X DIRFT. Y SEXFT.;

When SAS determines that DIRFT and SEXFT are not standard SAS formats, it looks for the files DIRFT TEXT and SEXFT TEXT. If SAS does not find the TEXT files, it searches every GLOBAL TXTLIB to find the formats. If you have deleted your TEXT files, you will have to refer to the format LIBRARY when you invoke SAS to run a program that uses those formats:

SAS filename ( SASLIB LIBRARY

W I run SAS programs in online' noninteractive mode on the main&ame. My programs take awhile to run, and, although I don't like to watch the terminal while they run, I'd like to know when they finish. Can I make my terminal beep when the program is finished?

V Yes. Many terminals (including PCs used as terminals with YTERM or PROCOMM) beep when they receive a message. At the end of your SAS program. you could add a CMS command to send a message to yourself. The last line of the program below contains this statement (the • in this case causes the message to be sent to your userid):

PROC SORT DATA •UCALEGON.COSTS; BY TREND; RUN; CMS TELL * DONE;

PC SAS users can make their programs beep by using the SOUND function. The SOUND function can be executed in a DATA step in the following form:

I CALL SOUND(/req, dur);

where freq is the desired frequency (in cycles per second) and dur is the desired duration (in 1 /80ths of a second).

The following DATA step would produce a 523-<:ycles-per-second (middle C) tone for one second:

I

DATA NULL ; CALL SOUND(523, 80);

. RUN;

(For more information about the SOUND function, see page 95 of the SAS Lan~" Guide for Personal Computers, Release 6.03 Edition).

w I'd like an easy way to enter my data in columns, using XEDIT. How do I do this?

V You can temporarily (i.e., for this editing session) specify a PF key to serve as a tab key by entering the SET PFn command:

I SET PFn TABKEY

The named PF key becomes the tab key for this session. You can specify where you want the tabs to be by column. For example, to cause tab stops to be set at columns 20, 25, 30, 35 and 50, enter:

SET TABS 20 25 30 35 50

You can specify up to 28 column locations this way. To display the current tab settings on the message line, issue this command:
