Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Hi Michael: I am using SAS on the Solaris/Unix platform. We have
installed V6.12a Wave 50 (TS050). We have had problems
with the Wizard and importing data but not at the level
you have described in this msg. Our problem was in
how data was being read thru the wizard. Our solution--
assure that data has been properly treated (i.e., formatted
as the data type that you want) prior to reading in SAS.
Typically, all of the Bill Gates programs are graphical
visual presentations. So when folks that need to process
that data outside the MS environ attempt to process MS oriented
data they will always have to pre-treat/reformat the data unless it
has been MS-Access interfaced. This is my humble opinion.
Good luck!

If I try to export a SAS file using the export wizard on UNIX (Solaris,
v6.12), the session terminates after selecting the dataset for export.
Forwarded below is a posting from 5/1997 in which Stewart Ravenhall points
out the problem ... but I couldn't find that anyone had posted a solution.
The institute claims issuing an 'options minstack = 128000' will alleviate
the problem. In my case it did diddly. Also it's supposed to be fixed in
v7.
Anyone have a fix for the wizard? I can use a macro but I'm interested in
getting the wizard to work.

Has anyone successfully run viewtable on Unix? I have a 100% crash rate so
far with it.
:-(
With all these bad words to say about viewtable I think someone ought to
say something nice about it. It _looks_ nice on a PC if you have 64MB RAM,
even if it is rubbish. There, I said it.
:-)
Cheers,
Stew.
