In this article, we will look at creating custom SAS Viya deployment topologies, realizing your workload placement plan. In doing this we will look at a couple of examples as a way of sharing some configuration specifics of using custom labels and taints. ... View more

I'm making a pChart using PROC SHEWHART, and my subgroups (lots) have varying sizes.  I want to give each lot the same weight when calculating pbar, rather than let lots with larger sample sizes have more weight.   I assumed PROC SHEWHART would have a WEIGHT statement, but it does not.  My next thought is to calculate pbar myself, and then pass the value to SHEWHART via the p0 option on the pchart statement.  Does this seem like a reasonable approach?   As an example, given data like:   data have ; input lot pfailed ntested ; cards ; 1 .1 20 2 .2 20 3 .1 20 4 .2 20 5 .4 60 ; PROC SHEWHART will calculate pbar as a weighted mean of the proportions, giving lot 5 more weight than the other lots, and you get pbar=.26.   proc shewhart data=have ; pchart pfailed*lot/subgroupn=ntested dataunit=proportion; run ; My thought is to calculate pbar myself as the unweighted mean, and you get pbar=.2, and pass that value to PROC SHEWHART:   proc sql noprint; select mean(pfailed) into :pbar trimmed from have ; quit ; %put &=pbar ; proc shewhart data=have ; pchart pfailed*lot/subgroupn=ntested dataunit=proportion p0=&pbar; run ;   ...

Using the following dataset for illustration:   data test; input id $ x y; cards; a1 1 2 a1 1 4 a1 2 8 a1 2 16 b1 2 2 b1 2 4 b1 2 8 b1 3 16 b1 4 32 ; run; I'd like to retain all records sharing the lowest values of x by subject id: id x y a1 1 2 a1 1 4 b1 2 2 b1 2 4 b1 2 8 There's a simple solution I'm missing -- tried the following code but it didn't work: data test2; set test; by id x; if first.x; run; ...

I have got the SAS re-installed in my personal laptop. Earlier when I used to open a new file whether it is a SAS data file or a SAS code, they used to open in separate windows. However, now when I open any kind of SAS files, all the files get clubbed under one window and within the process flow as shown in the attached screenshot. This makes it quite difficult to see these different files separately or at the same time. Could anyone please help me resolve this issue? Thanks ... View more
