Hi Rob,
   Thanks for the SCL code.  If I'd read my notes a bit closer, I would have
seen that PROC SETINIT NOALIAS gives you a list of the components you have
licensed, which as has been pointed out, may not be the same as the list of
those you have installed.  I haven't found the NOALIAS option in either the
6.12 or the v8 documentation;  our site SAS support person told me about it,
but I don't know where he heard about it from.  It does return different
results from PROC SETINIT without the option specified, at least here.  With
it, we get a list of each individual component we have licensed.  Without
it, many of our components are wrapped up into a single enterprise license
entry.  Maybe it depends on the licensing arrangements.
      Nancy

Nancy,

I was not aware of the (undocumented?) NOALIAS option.  I was of Jack
Hamilton's mindset that you had to check file/catalogs exisiting in the
!SASROOT directory.  Here is some SCL code I use to let user's know that a
feature is not available from lack of product licensing or installation of
SAS/GRAPH:

GRAPHICS:
  if sysprod('graph') ^= 1
     or fileexist("!sasroot\graph\sasexe\sasxgsup.dll") = 0
     then do;
    rc = gray('GRAPHICS');  link ckrc;
    alarm;
    _msg_ = 'This function requires the ' ||
            'SAS/GRAPH product.';
  end; else do;
    call display('prog.func.graphics.frame');
  end;  * if;
  call notify('EXIT', '_cursor_');
RETURN;

I would be curious to know if the NOALIAS option on PROC SETINIT really
indicates installation or just itemizes which products are included in a
license package.  BTW, I saw no difference whether I used the NOALIAS option
or not in my PROC SETINIT results.

HTH,

Rob
