I'm trying to make a permanent change to my SAS config file (sasv9.cfg). Specifically, I want to increase the MEMSIZE option from -MEMSIZE 2G to -MEMSIZE MAX.
The instructions from SAS on how to do this are on this page under *Overview of Changing SAS System Option Settings' ... http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostwin/69955/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p0drw76qo0gig2n1kcoliekh605k.htm#p0273uv4qrgcrjn16vg7muluuhrz
Using SAS' text editor I am able to access the config file (sasv9.cfg) and make the changes to the appropriate line of code.
The problem is that SAS won't let me save those changes, stipulating that the 'administrator' has to approve them. I am the administrator but I don't know enough about how SAS' OS works to enable the save.
Any suggestions on workarounds to this issue would be most welcome.
You need to edit the file as an Administrator since I'm guessing you are on Windows,
Right click in notepad app and select run as an Administrator:
Then open the file sasv9.cfg through menu > file > open

Is it possible to tune WebStorm so that when I have something like this in my terminal window, then I just click on the filename and jump to it.
Not possible using built-in terminal (please vote for IDEA-118566 and IDEA-154439).
Awesome Console plugin might be a solution; but it doesn't support built-in terminal (https://github.com/anthraxx/intellij-awesome-console/issues/23)
there is also Output Link Filter plugin that provides similar functionality, but it looks outdated and (also) doesn't work in built-in terminal
Update (2022): IDEA-118566 is already fixed, links should work. Please note that providing links for particular output needs adding specific logic handing such output. Thus, if you encounter missing links in a particular output, please file a separate issue request describing link output format and steps to reproduce such output.
Webstorm does in fact now have this functionality.
Note that the bug about this functionality being missing (linked in another answer) has been marked as fixed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-118566.
It's not quite a single click solution, but what I do, is double click the text so that it auto selects and copies the path, including line and char numbers to clipboard. Then use the shortcut for Goto File.... Hit paste (cmd+v) then Enter and it will take you to the exact location.
For me, the shortcut for Goto File... is cmd+shift+O - you can check your shortcut in the menu Navigate -> File...
You can use the following format to output text in the terminal via console.log and the path will be clickable:
at ($FILE_FULL_PATH:$LINE_NUMBER:$SYMBOL_NUMBER)
Example with the full path to the file:
at (/home/ubuntu/project/index.js:12:55)
However, if you're running WebStorm with exact file path's project's folder, you can use the following format:
at (./project/index.js:12:55)
I installed Awesome Console plugin and with this plugin, all files and links in the console and terminal will be highlighted and can be clicked. Source code files will be opened in the IDE, other links with the default viewer/browser for this type.
You can jump to files from the terminal with left click
Just select file path (dblclick) & press "shift" twice (search everywhere) & press "enter"...
Running some random code I found on the internet a few weeks ago has changed the pagesize and linesize defaults of my SAS output window. I don't remember what code it was though unfortunately. The current default pagesize is 15, which is generally way too small.
Does anyone know how to change the default?
I can change this using "options pagesize=80" or something but that only lasts for the current session. I can also change it in the GUI from Tools>Options>Output>Display but any changes won't save to my next session.
Any tips would be much appreciated! This is kind of excruciating. Thanks!
Your editor preferences are stored in a SAS catalog. Only 1 SAS session can open/write to this catalog at a single time. You can find out the location of the catalog that your SAS session is using by running this code:
proc options;run;
... And then search for SASUSER in the log.
If you launch SAS and it tries to use a SASUSER catalog that is already in use by another session, it will give you the message:
WARNING: Unable to copy SASUSER registry to WORK registry. Because of this,
WARNING: you will not see registry customizations during this session.
Are you seeing this message when you launch SAS? If so, it means that you have another instance of SAS open on your machine that has that catalog open. You have 2 options:
Close all instances of sas.exe on your machine (via task manager, be sure to check process names, not just the applications tab) then try making the change again.
Setup another shortcut to launch sas.exe. On this shortcut, specify a different SASUSER location like so:
sas.exe -SASUSER "d:\sas\profile2.cfg"
Also, I'm assuming you have the option to 'Save settings on exit' checked. Or if this isn't the case you can save your current settings by typing the command save into the command bar.
EDIT :
Some additional places to check that may override any profile settings:
Your sasv9.cfg file. Again, run proc options;run; and search for sasv9.cfg. It will give you the location of this file. If the file simply contains a list of other filenames, be sure to open up those 'included' files and check those.
Your autoexec file. If your SAS environment is specifying an autoexec file to load at launch, make sure it's not adjusting them there. Also if it is using an autoexec file, make sure you have all the loggin options turned on as the first thing that happens when SAS loads: option mprint notes source source2;.
Try right-clicking on SAS and choose 'Launch as Admininstrator'. If your profile is in a read-only location due to priveleges, perhaps your settings aren't being saved.
Look in your windows event log to see if SAS is loggin any errors there.
According to the SAS for Windows documentation, pagesize is controlled in part by the default printer. 15 is the minimum value, so it's possible that there is something wrong with your default printer and/or SAS is doing something odd (such as not finding one). If 'some random code' changed your default printer, you could simply try changing it back (see your SYSPRINT option).
I believe you can override this in your sasv9.cfg, commonly located in a path like C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS Foundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg (varying based on what language version of SAS you use and your version, plus installation details), by simply adding -pagesize=80 or whatever you wish the default to be. You also can add options pagesize=80; to your autoexec.sas (or a new autoexec.sas if you don't have one already); see this paper or the documentation for more details on that.
I forgot to printto my log and it filled up. I tried to choose the 'save' option from the popup window. I entered a name+path for the log and it didn't accept it. I tried entering just a name and it accepted it, but I have no idea where it saved to.
I've searched around and found many answers on how to avoid this situation, but no answers on where the save option puts your log.
It is saved as a catalog entry in SASUSER.PROFILE with whatever name you gave it. FILE is the way to get it saved as a text file rather than a catalog entry.
Note, this only works if you have write access to SASUSER; if you regularly run SAS with rsasuser or if you share user profiles for whatever reason (or if you're running a second+ copy of the same SAS session), the save option will not work at all (and should give you an error).
You can also specify -altlog="<path to log>" on the SAS exe invocation/shortcut. This writes the entire session log to file as you go along.
I need to provide non-techie user ability to reliable download a few large files (3Gb) from URL without revealing the source URL of the file. Ideally I need single exe (without dependencies) that will download file from URL, specified inside exe: when user click on exe it just need show prompt where to save the file, and(optionally) will provide the user with some progress bar, for instance. The target URL can be specified directly in
the resource section, so I can edit URL path with HEX editor when I need set another path.
Wget are not suitable in my case, as its command line utility and requires user to specify an URL.
You could use the URLDownloadToFile function. Implement the IBindStatusCallback interface to receive progress information.
You really can't hide the source URL. Why are you trying to do that? If an end user runs tcpdump while they are running your program, they'll see where packets are coming from and going to.
I'd just provide them with a small batch file which calls ftp.exe. Tell your end user to drop the .BAT file where the downloaded file should go, and click it.
That solves quite a few problems, e.g. you know that your end user will be able to find the directory.
Using TextMate:
Is it possible to assign a shortcut to preview/refresh the currently edited HTML document in, say, Firefox, without having to first hit Save?
I'm looking for the same functionality as TextMate's built-in Web Preview window, but I'd prefer an external browser instead of TextMate's. (Mainly in order to use a JavaScript console such as Firebug for instance).
Would it be possible to pipe the currently unsaved document through the shell and then preview in Firefox. And if so, is there anyone having a TextMate command for this, willing to share it?
Not trivially. The easiest way would be to write the current file to the temp dir, then launch that file.. but, this would break any relative links (images, scripts, CSS files)
Add a bundle:
Input: Entire Document
Output: Discard
Scope Selector: source.html
And the script:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.5
import os
import sys
import random
import tempfile
import subprocess
fname = os.environ.get("TM_FILEPATH", "Untitled %s.html" % random.randint(100, 1000))
fcontent = sys.stdin.read()
fd, name = tempfile.mkstemp()
print name
open(name, "w+").write(fcontent)
print subprocess.Popen(["open", "-a", "Firefox", name]).communicate()
As I said, that wont work with relative resource links, which is probably a big problem.. Another option is to modify the following line of code, from the exiting "Refresh Browsers" command:
osascript <<'APPLESCRIPT'
tell app "Firefox" to Get URL "JavaScript:window.location.reload();" inside window 1
APPLESCRIPT
Instead of having the javascript reload the page, it could clear it, and write the current document using a series of document.write() calls. The problem with this is you can't guarantee the current document is the one you want to replace.. Windows 1 could have changed to another site etc, especially with tabbed browsing..
Finally, an option that doesn't have a huge drawback: Use version control, particularly one of the "distributed" ones, where you don't have to send your changes to a remote server - git, mercurial, darcs, bazaar etc (all have TextMate integration also)
If your code is in version control, it doesn't matter if you save before previewing, you can also always go back to your last-commited version if you break something and lose the undo buffer.
Here's something that you can use and just replace "Safari" with "Firefox":
http://wiki.macromates.com/Main/Howtos#SafariPreview
Open the Bundle Editor (control + option + command + B)
Scroll to the HTML Bundle and expand the tree
Select "Open Document in Running Browser(s)"
Assign Activation Key Equivalent (shortcut)
Close the bundle editor
I don't think this is possible. You can however enable the 'atomic saves' option so every time you alt tab to Firefox your project is saved.
If you ever find a solution to have a proper Firefox live preview, let us know.
