PROC STP is a new procedure for SAS 9.3 Stored Processes. It’s so new and different that I have not had the opportunity to use it yet in a customer engagement. When writing about it for the now released “The 50 Keys to Learning SAS Stored Processes” book, I had [...]

Functionality to upload files onto the SAS server (from 9.2 on) is available using stored processes and an html input type=”file”. I introduced this topic last year in my blog post using the SAS Stored Process Developer Guide sample. Of course, it is never as easy as the sample is [...]

Every six months or so I try to find a recent picture that captures who I am and what I am feeling. Loading this into my various social/online profiles in Twitter, SAS Community, Forums, LinkedIn, corporate internal, Facebook etc then take me a bit of time to implement. Wouldn’t it [...]

Angela Hall|September 12, 2011

As I have previously mentioned, SAS 9.3 has some sweet new functionality for stored processes. The topic of the prior post was on storing .sas code for the stored process directly within the metadata and how to edit/access that raw code. Did you know that the ‘Edit Source Code’ button [...]

Default server option and streaming output support in 9.3 stored processes

Angela Hall
Angela Hall|August 31, 2011

New in 9.3, stored processes can be assigned to run on the ‘Default Server’ server type.

Metadata source code storage in 9.3 stored processes

Angela Hall
Angela Hall|August 29, 2011

There is some sweet new functionality in 9.3 stored processes. One of them I particularly like is the additional option to store the SAS code within the metadata rather than in a separate .sas file. This is extremely beneficial when allowing the stored process to run on multiple application servers. It also could [...]

Angela Hall
Angela Hall|April 20, 2011

As I mentioned yesterday, some users create portal applications to bypass a second authentication step from the Portal to a Stored Process (via a URL Display Portlet). New in SAS 9.2, there is a STPRun directive that allows you to just complete one single step (create a URL display portlet) [...]
