Subject:   Survey: Who uses keyboard abbreviations

Hi,

I've been training some people at work and decided to give them the keyboard abbreviations I use to speed up my programming and train them on it. I was curious how many other people take advantage of this SAS GUI option and, if they do, what abbreviations they use.

A few of the abbreviation I use frequently in my code and what they resolve to follows...

abbreviation: comm used for: comments that break the code into sections. text substitution:

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*\

\*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/

abbreviation: sum used for: getting a 'proc summary' skeleton to work with. text substitution:

proc summary data=work nway missing; class ; var ; output out=temp(drop=_:) sum=; run;

abbreviation: gpl used for: getting a 'proc glplot' skeleton that I most often use. text substitution:

goptions reset=symbol reset=axis reset=legend; proc gplot data=temp; symbol1 i=j w=2 ; axis1 value=(a=90 r=0) ; axis2 label=(a=90 r=0) ; legend1 label=('Legend') ; plot / haxis=axis1 vaxis=axis2 vzero legend=legend1 overlay ; run; quit;
