Re: [R] SAS and R on multiple operating systems

Hi, SASweave is an interesting concept and is further along than I thought. Thanks Donald. I have checked out many sources on the net. Also thanks for offering to help me get started. I have a masters in stat, not a Phd and I spend most of my time programming so I am a little over my had wit

Thanks Dennis, Thanks for taking the time that was a very informed response. It was a teachable moment for me. I didn't know about the breath and depth of LaTeX. I need to do some self education. Unfortunately I don't see how to integrate LaTeX with SAS, since SAS has its own template/ta

Hi, I agree with Barry, but there are some of us out there that are trying to change the image of big Pharma. R helps statisticians do real science. I have complained for about 10 years about EXCEL and WORD driving the delivery of inputs and outputs. Years ago, I did a short gig with contrac

Hi, Just a couple of notes to reply to others questions. 1. unx is a file handle that points to my UNIX SAS work directory(like an R workspace). This directory is not mounted under windows. most of the SAS objects, ie SAS datasets in the 64bit Unix directory are available to my windows SAS p

Hi, Again I slight mistake on my part. One of the largest Pharmaceutical Contract companies uses VMS. I erroneously added the VAX in front from my memory. I don't want to mention the company, but if anyone else there is familiar with contact pharma companies, one of these uses VMS(extensively-p

Re: [R] SAS and R on multiple operating systems

Hi, You are absolutely correct about 32/64 and it appears to be a severe penalty. But I think 32 to 32(win/unix) does not incur the penalty. There are even more issues between mainframe and unix/windows. The 32 to 64 is a big hit when querying data dictionaries that have a mixture of 32/64 bit S

Re: [R] SAS and R on multiple operating systems

Hi, One other point. The connection I have with mutiple servers is persistent the windows SAS executable is is constant contact with all the SAS server executables. Also I can submit a job where unix code is interspersed with windows code. I do execute R and perl from SAS using pipes.

Hi, You are correct SAS no longer supports OS X under SAS-Proper. I use the term SAS-Proper for base SAS with SAS-Connect. It does appear that some improper SAS products are supported under MAC OS? SAS releases JMP® 8 for Mac, Linux Users of all major desktop operating systems can now explore
