I’ve added 5 more topics to the Macros course in the SAS course (in the SAS Programming Forum), and they describe more of the syntax used in SAS macro programming.

I have added, for those who don’t want to follow the course but would prefer to read the course notes, copies of some of the course notes as downloadable PDF ebooks, and I have now published Android ebook apps with the same content on Google Play and Amazon Appstore.

The Macros book and apps will be published after I’ve added the final topic, and as other SAS courses are finalised I will be publishing them as PDF ebooks and Android apps too.

Recruiters

I’m always looking for new recruiters to post SAS-related jobs on this site covering India, UK, the Americas, Europe and the Rest of the World. In particular, I would like to include jobs in Europe and India, where nearly half of the registered blog members are located, but currently there are no active recruiters for them.

If you have a regular supply of jobs, then there is a free trial which is open to all recruiters, but with 2 simple rules:

  1. The free trial will be extended by an additional calendar month only when a job is posted, and will expire automatically if no job has been posted in a calendar month.
  2. The posted jobs must be SAS-related.

The current regional breakdown of registered blog members is as follows, but note that the SAS Jobs Listing is open to all site visitors:

  1. Indian sub-continent: 33.0% (209)
  2. The Americas: 24.0% (152)
  3. UK: 21.5% (136)
  4. Europe: 14.8% (94)
  5. Rest of the World: 6.6% (42)

In particular, I would like to include jobs in Europe and India, where nearly half of the registered blog members are located, but currently there are no active recruiters for them. In fact, if you have SAS jobs located anywhere in the world, and no jobs for that location can be found in the SAS Jobs Listing, then please contact me, as I can get your jobs seen!

  1. The free trial will be extended by an additional calendar month only when a job is posted, and will expire automatically if no job has been posted in that calendar month.

Microsoft Exchange 365 is dead! Long live Google Mail! …but maybe not!

Loading

I’ve finally realised that my company’s email server on Microsoft Exchange 365 is too unreliable to use for emails from my SAS blog server, so I have configured the email client to send emails through Google Mail instead. This means that:

  1. Emails will no longer be sent from phil@hollandnumerics.com
  2. Emails will now be sent from hollandnumerics1992@gmail.com
  3. Hopefully emails will be sent more reliably

If you have existing email filters that accept emails from phil@hollandnumerics.com, please can you add hollandnumerics1992@gmail.com to your accepted email addresses.

In case you are wondering why I phrased the title of this post as I did, it is based on the announcement from Buckingham Palace when a monarch dies and the succession of a new monarch to the throne of the United Kingdom. It is a statement of continuity!

Stop Press

Various attempts to send out emails to members have made me realise that the reliability of the Microsoft Exchange 365 servers is better than the traffic restrictions of the Google Mail servers. As a consequence I’ve decided to revert back to sending emails from phil@hollandnumerics.com.

However, I may make use of the email server on my hollandnumerics.org.uk server in the future, so watch this space!
