Subject: MVS SAS/Web
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi,
A number of folks asked me to summarize the responses I got concerning using
Web interfaces to SAS on an MVS and having the results returned to the Web
in HTML form. Here they are. Thank you to all who responded. I will
update the list when we know more (our tech folks are looking into this in
more detail).
RESPONSE 1
I haven't done the SAS>HTML yet but it's coming. What I have done is develop a
"Student Tracking System" using SAS, primarily for Institutional Research
users. And the effort is funded by a Title III grant, so the code is public
domain.
I've seen Minnesota on many SISU rosters. Do you use SIS (or any of the IA
products from SCT) for administrative records?
If so, then there's probably an opportunity for synergistic dialogue;
if not, then this is just more junk mail.
Good luck.

Hi Steve. we've done quite a bit of this kind of thing. We have used
SAS/IntrNet Product, just plain SAS and a product called haht site from haht
software corporation. You should be able to run a web server on mvs fine.
When I was at the University of Georgia, we explored running a web server at
that time and chose our CMS machine. Today I would highly recommend either
UNIX or NT for the actual server, but you could certainly prepare the data
on your mvs machine and ftp the formatted pages somewhere else...
let me know if you have any other questions or if we can help..

Steve,
Did you get any responses to your SAS-L inquiry about Web to SAS on MVS?
We are also investigating this type of situation. We are using the
experimental SAS INTRANET TOOLS but need to go cross platform to access
data. Moving all the data we need access to is too inefficient. I would
be appreciative if you let me know what other SAS users told you. Thanks.

It sounds like you need to start a WWW-browser,
and point to http://WWW.SAS.COM
and read about what SAS is doing in this area.
RESPONSE 5
On the SAS Institute web site see web tools home page
http://www.sas.com/rnd/web/sitemap.html
for general SAS to/from WEB stuff
You might simplify things by installing the SAS/Intrnet product on your
WEB server
Or the Tabulate to HTML macro introduction
http://www.sas.com/rnd/web/format/tab/tabintro.html
etc
Good luck
RESPONSE 6
Hi there...
I work for a SAS Consulting company called Dansys Consultants Inc., in
Ottawa, Canada. For the past year and a half I've been designing SAS/WEB
applications for various clients however I have not yet tried this with
MVS. The majority of my projects have been with UNIX machines. If you'd
like to see my current project, have a look at www.golfmax.ca. It's a
project I'm doing in conjunction with the National Golf Course Owners
Association of Canada.
If you have any questions, please send them along.
Regards,
Craig
