Been a long-time SAS user and wanted to try out CAS. I came across the concept of a Personal CAS Server which is like a Sandbox environment. So seems perfect for my process right now. But there is surprisingly no information to be found on how to set it up. So how do I set up a Personal CAS Server - does anyone know ? ... View more

Hi, I need some help with writing a SAS code to handle the following scenario.    I have a data set that has multiple sites; each site has multiple patients; and each patient can have data of up to 7 days (one row represents one day). The data set has form start and save time. Data set is also setup to have no duplicates. First day data of each patient should always have the previous save and open time (both are user defined variables) as NULL. e.g., sr.1, 8, and 9 will have previous open and save time variables as NULL. And using these variables, I want to calculate the the following for each patient at a site: number of hours a patient took between today's and yesterday's start times (i.e., from today's start to previous start) and  number of hours a patient took between today's open and yesterday's start times (i.e., from today's start to previous day save) Sr. PT SITE START_TIME SAVE_TIME 1 001 01 4/9/2024 16:44 4/9/2024 16:46 2 001 01 4/10/2024 16:39 4/10/2024 16:40 3 001 01 4/11/2024 16:07 4/11/2024 16:08 4 001 01 4/12/2024 16:05 4/12/2024 16:06 5 001 01 4/13/2024 20:05 4/13/2024 20:06 6 001 01 4/14/2024 19:31 4/14/2024 19:52 7 001 01 4/15/2024 16:25 4/15/2024 16:25 8 002 01 4/15/2024 16:19 4/15/2024 16:20 9 003 01 4/15/2024 16:21 4/15/2024 16:22 10 002 02 4/3/2024 18:34 4/3/2024 18:41 11 002 02 4/4/2024 18:03 4/4/2024 18:09 12 002 02 4/6/2024 21:11 4/6/2024 21:14 13 002 02 4/6/2024 21:14 4/6/2024 21:16 14 002 02 4/7/2024 18:17 4/7/2024 18:20 15 002 02 4/8/2024 18:12 4/8/2024 18:14 16 002 02 4/9/2024 18:06 4/9/2024 18:08 17 004 02 4/5/2024 18:03 4/5/2024 18:10 18 004 02 4/6/2024 16:27 4/6/2024 16:32 19 004 02 4/7/2024 19:18 4/7/2024 19:22 20 004 02 4/8/2024 18:01 4/8/2024 18:07 21 004 02 4/9/2024 18:06 4/9/2024 18:16 22 004 02 4/10/2024 18:08 4/10/2024 18:10 23 004 02 4/11/2024 19:22 4/11/2024 19:26 24 005 02 4/8/2024 18:05 4/8/2024 18:07 25 005 02 4/9/2024 19:32 4/9/2024 19:34 26 005 02 4/10/2024 18:45 4/10/2024 18:47 27 005 02 4/11/2024 18:02 4/11/2024 18:04 28 005 02 4/12/2024 18:04 4/12/2024 18:07 29 005 02 4/13/2024 18:01 4/13/2024 18:03 30 005 02 4/14/2024 18:06 4/14/2024 18:08   Thanks so much in advance for all the help. ...
