I ran _NEO_ through the SAS v9 online docs and got 9 hits perhaps there
is something there that will help.

Matt,
Good question. I haven't found much in the OnlineDoc or SAS Help other
than bits and pieces as in the case of the _NEO_ operator. I developed
a V6 AF application years ago that used SCL to establish region
attachments, and if I remember correctly, I found an example in one of
the V6 AF hardcopy manuals. I haven't seen the V8 SAS/AF hardcopy
documentation, but I suspect it may be helpful.
Without access to better documentation, I would probably resort to trial
and error. The attributes specified in the _NEO_ example, to me, look
like V6 instance variable names (V6 used underscores more than V7-V9).
When I tried removing the underscores from the attribute names (to match
actual V8 attribute names) used in the _NEO_ example, the code didn't
work.

Randy,
Thanks a lot for the information--I see similar code
in the doco for the _neo_ statement, which I was
overlooking in favor of the _new_ statement. However,
I can't find documentation that *explains* what's
happening here. Evidently, the attr list is being
passed to the _init() method. However, where is the documentation that
explains what that attr list should contain? In other words, what is
the structure / semantics of the required attr list, and where is it
documented?
Thanks!
Matt
