[edit] Notebook presents a new project management tool for SAS Programmers!
Update7: Version 1.0.1.8 is a whole new Notebook -- new Quick Start Guide plus several enhancements (--no more duplicate tabs; no more need to configure a SAS server, except when running the SAS Batch Processing Console; revised Wizards; and more!) A problem with the "Submit" or "Run Project" menu yielding blank log files after the first or initial run has also been fixed.]
Update6: Version 1.0.1.6 has fixed a problem with the "Add Existing Item..." menu in the Project Explorer. When adding multiple files to a project, the added files may contain "garbage" because of an error in the way the files are being copied into the destination folder. This error has been fixed.]
Update5: Version 1.0.1.5 has fixed the following problems: (1) a bug in the "Submit" routine that prevents SAS datasets from being saved and succeeding "Submit" or "Run Project" commands to become unresponsive; (2) a problem with opening SAS datasets taking too much time to appear on the data grid; (3) other minor bugs.]
Update4: Version 1.0.1.4 has fixed the following problems: (1) a bug in the Web Explorer throwing an exception (access denied error message) in some web pages; (2) an exception is thrown when the "Add Existing Item..." menu in the Project Explorer is used and there is currently no assigned output folder; (3) a bug in the Project Explorer treeview when a dataset is double-clicked and a tab other than the Project Explorer is currently active; (4) the line and column numbers showing (or not showing) incorrectly; (5) project items that no longer exist in the project location do not appear with the broken link icon; (6) a numbered error/warning/note does not show the actual location of the error/warning/note in the log when clicked -- this happens when the active tab is the Code Editor.]
Update3: Version 1.0.1.3 has fixed the following problems: (1) the "Run Project", "Submit", and "Submit Selection" menuitems become unresponsive after the initial run/submit processing; (2) no navigational buttons for the Code Editor's companion fileviewer when the Project Explorer tab is active; (3) no "Submit", and "Submit Selection" context menu commands when a SAS program is opened inside the Project Explorer tab; (4) other minor problems/issues.]
Update2: Version 1.0.1.2 has fixed the following problems: (1) Notebook installed on machines with SAS v9.0 cannot open a SAS dataset in the Data Editor; (2) libname statement not being "remembered" by Notebook when running selected parts of a main program (or project) that do not contain the original libname statement; (3) a bug in the companion file viewer of the Code Editor, in which double clicking on a folder brings up an IO error message; (4) other minor revisions in the source code.]
Update1: A new version of Notebook, with a Visual-Studio-like way of creating and managing SAS projects, is now available for download at: http://sas2themax.com/beta. If you have an older version currently installed, just run it and it will detect the presence of a newer version.
A new blog has been posted, giving a sneak-peek of a forthcoming Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed exclusively for SAS programmers. Read more...
