I’ve updated my blog site to fix a bug in the forum software, and you may not now be able to access the site in the way you’ve done so in the past. Using http://blog.hollandnumerics.org.uk will still work, but any web addresses including “:8000” will now fail.
Remove “:8000” from your previously used web addresses.
Why has the change been made?
When the site was accessed using port 8000, the forum software bbPress would not accept replies to forum topics. It should have done so, but it just didn’t work. Using port 80 (the default for web sites) bbPress will now successfully accept replies to forum topics, so please feel free to ask questions, and offer suggestions in forum replies.
Anyone learning about SAS can take advantage of the SAS University Edition. This can be downloaded to your Windows or Linux platform as a free virtual machine compatible with VirtualBox or VMware Player (both free too!), or accessed online through an Amazon AWS environment (also free!). Full details about what you need to do can be found at http://www.sas.com/en_us/software/university-edition.html. Just follow the Get free software link on this web page.
Note that this version of SAS must only be used for learning about SAS, and is not intended for commercial use. The full list of permitted uses for the SAS University Edition can be found here.
You can use SAS University Edition with all of the topics in the SAS course on this site, except SAS Enterprise Guide.

While I have been working on the final topic(s) for the Data Steps section of the SAS course on the FILE & PUT statements, I have read a number of questions on the web about PROC SQL syntax. I was not going to start this section until somewhat later, but I have decided to publish the first few topics to explain some of the most useful PROC SQL syntax, so look out for the following topics in the next few weeks:
This is quick reminder that I still have the following apps available in Google Play:
Data Steps: Do This in SAS?
SQL: Do This in SAS?
Graphs: Do This in SAS?
Platforms: Do This in SAS?
EG: Do This in SAS?
Macros: Do This in SAS?
Efficiency: Do This in SAS?
Studio: Do This in SAS?
These apps are also available for Android users in the Amazon Appstore, or for Chrome and Chromium desktop browser users in the Chrome Web Store:
Data Steps: How Do You Do This in SAS?
SQL: How Do You Do This in SAS?
Graphs: How Do You Do This in SAS?
Platforms: How Do You Do This in SAS?
EG: How Do You Do This in SAS?
Macros: How Do You Do This in SAS?
Efficiency: How Do You Do This in SAS?
Studio: How Do You Do This in SAS?
There are also free apps, which you can find by searching in each app store:
How Do You Do This in SAS? (Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Chrome Web Store)
Consulting: Do This in SAS? (Google Play)
Consulting: How Do You Do This in SAS? (Amazon Appstore and Chrome Web Store)
All these apps are updated frequently, and the paid-for apps are priced at less than US$3 based on the number of questions that are answered, and within the apps you can ask new questions that can be added in future updates. It doesn’t matter which platform you use, as the same content is present in the corresponding Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Chrome Web Store apps.
I’m currently working on the final topic(s) for the Data Steps section of the SAS course on the FILE & PUT statements, which also includes information about FILENAME and ABORT statements too. Currently I’m splitting this topic into 4 sub-topics, to make it more manageable, which will be published before the end of the month.
The next section will focus on SAS procedures, and then I’ll be working on a section about reading external files.
You will need to have, at least, Free membership of my SAS blog to access the SAS course home page, which is made up of sections containing SAS-related topics, with new topics and sections posted over time.
The SAS course now has 2 sections, updated with 2 new topics (about formats and informats) and another extended topic (about DO loops, including information about arrays) available, making a total of 10 topics in the SAS Programming Forum. Note that the course topics themselves are not available to registered members with Free membership, so to upgrade your membership please click here.

The previous theme was called “Twenty Fifteen”, but we are now in May 2016, so I thought it was time to change to a new theme, called “Twenty Sixteen”.
What do you think of it? I must admit I found it very different at first sight, but now I’ve had a chance to look more closely at it, I think it works rather well.
