My colleague Rick Wicklin maintains a nifty chart that shows the timeline of SAS releases since Version 8. A few of you asked if I could post a similar chart for SAS Enterprise Guide. Here it is. Like Rick, I used new features in SAS 9.4 to produce this chart
SAS Enterprise Guide 8.4 is released, and it supports connections to SAS Viya to run SAS programs, access data, and more!
SAS announces continued support and releases for SAS 9 and a new role for SAS Enterprise Guide with SAS Viya.
SAS Enterprise Guide(이하 SAS EG)의 최근 버전에서는 기존의 폴더를 통한 접근뿐만 아니라 GitHub 레파지토리를 등록하여 프로그램을 실행, 수정, 관리할 수 있습니다. 회사나 개인 용도로 GitHub을 사용하고 있을 경우, SAS EG에 레파지토리를 등록하여 사용이 가능합니다. 기존에 SAS EG와 GitHub을 사용하는 분이라면 EG를 통해서 좀 더 효율적이고 편리하게 작업을 하실 수 있습니다.

If you're a SAS Enterprise Guide user who is looking to move to SAS Studio, there is a lot to like about your new coding environment.
One of the problems that trips up experienced SAS users when they begin to use SAS Enterprise Guide is a result of simple geography. The SAS Enterprise Guide application runs here, on your desktop. The SAS Workspace session (which accesses data and cranks through your analysis) runs over there, on
I'm a big fan of the Import Data task in SAS Enterprise Guide, especially for its support of text-based files (CSV, tab delimited, fixed width, and more). There's no faster method for generating SAS code that reads your data exactly the way you need it. I use the tool so
SAS Enterprise Guide(EG)で簡単にPythonなどオープンソース・コードを実行できる方法を紹介します。 １．オープンソースコード実行用タスク(OST)の概要 ２．事前設定 ３．EGでの使用方法 ４．AMOでの使用方法 １．オープンソースコード実行用タスク(OST)の概要 SAS Enterprise Guide（EG）は直感的なユーザインタフェース上で、マウスの簡単操作で、透過的にデータにアクセスし、様々な分析用タスクを活用し、データの準備から加工・変換、集計・分析、レポート作成に至る一連の作業をグラフィカルなフロー図として描き、実行することができるツールです。 一方、多くの組織ではPython, Rなど様々なオープンソースのスキルを持つデータサイエンティストが混在することが多く、こうしたオープンソース（OS）とのコラボレーションも必要になってきています。従来、EGとPythonなどOSと連携する際には、データでのやりとりが必要でした。例えば、EGで作成したデータをエクスポートし、OSユーザに渡して処理してもらうか、その逆か、になります。 都度このようにデータをやりとりするには手間と時間がかかりますし、データやPythonコードなどの管理も課題となります。こうした課題を解決する手段の一つとして、カスタムタスクを活用することができます。 カスタムタスク：EGには、数多くのタスク（データ準備用タスク、分析用タスク、など）が実装されています。このタスクは顧客ニーズに応じてカスタムで作成し、活用することができるようになっています。SASのサポートサイトからカスタムタスクを作成するためのテンプレートをダウンロードし、使用することができるようになっています。カスタムタスクの作成方法の詳細に関しては、次回のブログでご紹介します。 オープンソースコード実行用タスク(OST)：OSTはOpenSourceTaskの略で、EGカスタムタスクのテンプレートに基づいて開発されています。OSTを使用することで、EG上で簡単にPythonコードを実行することができ、GUIベースの簡単マウス操作でPythonコードを再利用し、EG上で、標準実装のタスクとOSTを活用し、連携してアナリティクス作業を完結することができます。これによって、様々異なる分析スキル（GUIユーザー、SAS言語ユーザー、OS言語ユーザー）を連携し、有効活用することが可能となります。また、この分析処理は自動化することも可能です。 次にPythonコード実行用のOSTの使用方法を紹介します。EGのバージョンは8.2を使用したものです。 ２．事前設定 ・Python環境の確認 まずSAS9サーバ側にPython環境がインストールされていることを確認してください。Pythonの環境がない場合は、PythonまたAnacondaなどPythonのruntimeをインストールする必要があります。 ・SAS9サーバーの設定 SAS9のSMC(SAS Management Console)を起動し、以下の画面を開きます。 「Environment Management」>「Server Manager」> 「SASApp」>「SASApp Logical Workspace Server」>「SASApp - Workspace」を右クリックし、「Properties」をクリックし 以下の設定でXCMDの実行を許可します。 「Options」タブ >「Advanced Options」>「Launch Properties」で「Allow XCMD」をチェックし、「OK」をクリックします。 設定を有効するにはシステムのObject Spawnerのサービスを再起動する必要があります。 ・OSTパッケージの取り込み OSTパッケージをダウンロードし、展開したCustomフォルダをEG(またAMO)のインストール先（以下画面ショットのロケーション）にコピーします。そのほか、臨時ファイル保存と作業用フォルダC:/Customを作成し、準備作業が完了です。 これで、OSTが使用できる状態になります。 ３．EG上の使用方法 まず EGを起動し、処理対象データを選択します。今回はSASHELPライブラリ内にある「CLASS」を選びます。データを選択した状態で、タスクリストのSAS
If you use SAS macro variables in your programs (who doesn't?), then the SAS Macro Variable viewer is immensely useful to see current macro var values.
The title of this blog says what you really need to know: SAS Enterprise Guide does have a future, and it's a bright one. Ever since SAS Studio debuted in 2014, onlookers have speculated about its impact on the development of SAS Enterprise Guide. I think that we have been
If you are a SAS programmer, you may wonder why you should read this. After all isn’t SAS Enterprise Guide just for folks who don’t want to be bothered writing SAS code? SAS Enterprise Guide is just point, click, and get results, right? Well there is a lot more to
“The difference between style and fashion is quality.” -Giorgio Armani With an out-of-the-box SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) installation, when you build a report in SAS EG it is displayed in a nice-looking default style. If you like it, you can keep it, and continue reading. If you don’t quite
SAS programmers have high expectations for their coding environment, and why shouldn't they? Companies have a huge investment in their SAS code base, and it's important to have tools that help you understand that code and track changes over time. Few things are more satisfying as a SAS program that
Many years ago I shared a custom task that allows you to view and manage SAS catalogs within SAS Enterprise Guide. As a reminder, a SAS catalog is a special type of SAS file that acts as a container, like a folder, for a variety of content items called catalog
I use SAS Enterprise Guide every day, and for a wide variety of tasks. As a result, I have a huge collection of project files (EGP files) and SAS program files. I have always relied on the "recently used" list in the File menu to provide me with quick access
SAS power users (and actually, power users of any application) like to customize their environment for maximum productivity. Long-time SAS users remember the KEYS window in SAS display manager, which allows you to assign SAS commands to "hot keys" in your SAS session. These users will invest many hours to
If you spend a lot of time in SAS Enterprise Guide (as I do), you probably get to know its features pretty well. But we don't always take the time to explore as we should, so there might be a few golden nuggets of editor knowledge that have escaped you
When mentioning to friends that I’m going to Orlando for SAS Global Forum 2107, they asked if I would be taking my kids. Clearly my friends have not attended a SAS Global Forum before as there have been years where I never even left the hotel! My kids would NOT enjoy it… but,
Colors are the subject of many romantic poems and songs, but there isn't much romance to be found in their hexadecimal values. With apologies to Van Morrison: ...Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My cx662F14 eyed girl When it comes
In my earlier post about WHERE and IF statements, I announced that the DATA step debugger has finally arrived in SAS Enterprise Guide. (I admit that I might have buried the lead in that post.) Let's use this post to talk about the new debugger and how it works. First,
SAS Enterprise Guide has come a long way since version 1.0 was released in 1999! Are any of you original users that remember the Help characters, Clippy, Peedy or Merlin? I was working as a statistician for another company that year, and I attended a SAS user group meeting where
Have you seen this error when running a program in SAS Enterprise Guide? ERROR: You cannot open WORK.YOURDATA.DATA for output access with member-level control because WORK.YOURDATA.DATA is in use by you in resource environment IOM ROOT COMP ENV. Or maybe: ERROR: A lock is not available for LIB.YOURDATA.DATA. NOTE: The
Would you like to see the latest features of SAS Enterprise Guide in action? Of course you would! That's why it's well worth the 12 minutes of your time to watch this video from SAS Global Forum 2016. In the video, Casey Smith (SAS' R&D manager of the SAS Enterprise
Have you ever been in a meeting in which a presenter is showing content on a web page -- but the audience can't read it because it's too small? Then a guy sitting in the back of the room yells, "Control plus!". Because, as we all know (right?), "Ctrl+" is
I recently met SAS user "CSC" at the Analytics 2015 conference. It might be generous to say that he's an avid user of SAS Enterprise Guide; it's probably more accurate to say that he's now accustomed to the tool and he's once again productive. But he still misses some features
Creating a grocery shopping list can be overwhelming for a variety of reasons. Lack of experience, picky eaters, and new recipes can turn an ambitious cook into an overwhelmed procrastinator. In this blog post I’ll show you an easy SAS Enterprise Guide project that uses prompts to create a simple
While I've often written about how to get your SAS data to Microsoft Excel in some automated way, I haven't really addressed what's probably the most frequently used method: copy and paste. SAS Enterprise Guide 7.1 added a nifty little feature that makes copy-and-paste even more useful. The new "Copy
I returned to work from a 2+ week vacation this morning. When I fired up SAS Enterprise Guide (as I do each work day and occasionally on weekends), I was greeted with this message: As a SAS insider, I knew this was coming. It's a new feature that was added
I've seen some crazy process flows in SAS Enterprise Guide. Crazy-big, and crazy-complex, used by real customers to accomplish real work. But while these process flows represent a ton of work, this is usually a calculated investment to automate processes that would be difficult to capture in another way. For
