Usage

• Open command Platte and type in create session, or press ctrl+alt+s.
• On the lower screen find the “Session to Create:” box, and type in the session you want to create. If you type anything else it would fail.
  • “classic” stands for the traditionally used SAS program
  • “studio” stands for SAS studio (or SAS University Edition)
• You can create multiple sessions for each type of session. Specifically for “classic” session,
  • if you type “classic” in the “create session” prompt, it will create a “classic:default” session. For “classic:default” session, SasSubmit will submit SAS command to the most recently activated SAS window.
  • if you type “classic:XXXXX”, where “XXXXX” is not “default”, for example, “classic:project_1”, it will create a named classic session, with “XXXXX” being the name, from the location of your SAS program. These types of session is not the same as “classic:default” as the pid of SAS window will be remembered in these sessions.
  • if you type “classic:” you will create a named classic session while the name is the time when you create this session.
• Wait for the session to be created.
• When the session is ready submit code using F3 or F4.
• You can change the directory of SAS session to the location of SAS program by pressing ctrl+alt+d.
• You can create multiple sessions, and you can also switch to different sessions by opening command Platte and type in “choose session”.
• Having too much content in SAS can make SAS running slow. In SAS you can assign the key ALT F12 as "log; clear; output; winclose; odsResults; clear;". So When you have too many results, you can press ALT F12 in SAS to clean the results and make it running faster.
