RASmacro library
SAS macros for BUGS (subset of RASmacro library)
TIGERADJACENT: create adjacency information for ZIP codes and Census Tracts. TIGERGEOCODE : geocode addresses according to TIGER/Line files. TIGERIMPORT : import TIGER/Line files from the US Census Bureau. _ABEND : Abend your jobs with specified return codes. _ARRAY : Create 1 to 3 dimensional arrays from previously defined variables. _BLIST : Expand a single/double-hyphen or colon variable list. _BY : Create a BY statement appropriate for either a DATASET or a PROC. _CATEXT : Return the CATALOG file name extension. _CD : Change directory. _CEXPORT: Export a CSV file for Excel/Stata. _CIMPORT: Import a CSV file from Excel/Stata. _CJ : Left justify, right justify, and/or center text. _COUNT : Count the number of arguments in a list. _DATA : Return the DATASET name from a one-level or two-level name with or without options. _DATATYP: Extend DATATYP macro capabilities to lists. _DEBUGS : Summarize posterior samples. _DECODA : Import CODA data files. _DELETE : Delete CATALOGs, DATASETs and the associated index file, if any. _DIR : Pad directory name with appropriate directory character. _DIRCHAR: Return appropriate directory character. _DSEXIST: Check for the existence of a DATASET. _DUMMY : Create dummy variables. _EXIST : Check for the existence of a file. _FILE : Strip quoting, if any. _FILEREF: Create a FILEREF from file names with wild cards. _FIRST : Find the first observation with or without BY group processing. _FN : File information about the source code that is being processed. _FOOT : Create macro variables for footnotes from the DICTIONARY. _HEAD : Return a list without it's tail (see also _TAIL). _IFELSE : Perform an operation, conditionally, based on a boolean value. _IN : Create an IN() logical operator after expanding hyphenated lists. _INDEXC : Macro imitation of the INDEXC function. _LAST : Find the last observation with or without BY group processing. _LEVEL : Create a list of values from a DATASET. _LEXPORT: Export "list" data file for BUGS/R/S+. _LIB : Return the LIBNAME from a one-level or two-level name. _LIMPORT: Import "list" data file from BUGS/R/S+. _LIST : Expand a single hyphen argument/variable list. _LJ : Left justify text. _LS : Returns the current LINESIZE. _MAX : Macro imitation of the MAX function. _MIN : Macro imitation of the MIN function. _NOBS : Return the number of observations in a DATASET. _OPTION : Return the DATASET options supplied with a DATASET name. _PAD : Pad a text string. _PRINTTO: Re-direct the LOG and/or LISTING. _PS : Return the current PAGESIZE. _REORDER: Re-parameterize variables for a specified ordering, but maintain the original values with FORMATs. _REPEAT : Similar to the REPEAT function. _REQUIRE: Ensures that a REQUIRED parameter has been specified. _RETAIN : Similar to RETAIN, except the variables are re-initialized at the beginning of each BY group. _RJ : Right justify a text string. _SCRATCH: Return a temporary DATASET. _SEXPORT: Export "structure" data file for BUGS or R/S+. _SORT : SORT a DATASET if a BY statement is supplied, COPY otherwise. _SUBSTR : Robust version of SUBSTR. _SUFFIX : Return a list of file extensions for a DATASET and an index file. _SUMMARY: Create tables with statistics from PROCs FREQ, MEANS, UNIVARIATE, etc. _TAIL : Return the tail of list (see also _HEAD). _TITLE : Make macro variables of the current titles from the DICTIONARY. _TR : Similar to the TRANSLATE function. _TRANSPO: Something like the opposite of PROC TRANSPOSE. _UNWIND : For OS-dependent macro programming. _VERSION: For version-dependent macro programming. _WHEN : Similar to the IN operator, but more flexible.

To install these SAS macros, do as follows:
1. unzip them into a directory denoted by ?????? (use the actual name)
2. edit your SAS configuration file, sasv8.cfg, sasv9.cfg (Windows) or sasv9_local.cfg (Unix/Linux)
2a. you probably have a line something like the following:
-sasautos '!SASROOT/sasautos' /* for Unix/Linux */> -sasautos '!SASROOT\core\sasmacro' /* for Windows */2b. edit or add the corresponding line as follows:
-sasautos ( '!SASROOT/sasautos' '??????' ) /* for Unix/Linux */ -sasautos ( '!SASROOT\core\sasmacro' '??????' ) /* for Windows */3. now, call the SAS macros from your SAS program like:
%_decoda(out=dataset, chains=2, infile=coda);My contact info
%_limport(infile=alc.tbl, file=import.sas, out=alc);
%_lexport(file=alc.txt, data=alc, var=status alcgrams);
%_sexport(data=matrix, var=col1-col5, file=m.struct);
