              standards

Jenny,
I don't understand, what your problem is. You have (your own) standards for
SAS code? Now you want to check your sources, if they fit to your standards?
What are that standards? What about the results of that test? Do you
rearrange the statements, or simply protocol?
Please tell more.
Regards,
Gerhard
