Problem executing any module from IVEware

[Marco Cetraro]

Hi,

I have MS Windows 10 64 bit installed in my computer.  I download and unzipped IVEware 1.0 without any problems.  I performed number (1) ,(2), and (3) below.  I have tried both ways : 

(a) Run the ive_examples_command.sas file from the SAS Enhanced Editor and I get the warning/error

WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro DESCRIBE not resolved.

903 +%describe(name=describe, dir=.);

     -

     180

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

(b) Run the ive_examples_editor.sas file from the SAS Program Editor  ( I double checked that I am executing the code using the SAS Program Editor and NOT the Enhanced Editor) and I get the following warning/error:

NOTE: Copying IMPORT.MODCOMP to WORK.MODCOMP (memtype=DATA).

NOTE: BUFSIZE is not cloned when copying across different engines.

      System Option for BUFSIZE was used.

NOTE: There were 17 observations read from the data set IMPORT.MODCOMP.

NOTE: The data set WORK.MODCOMP has 17 observations and 19 variables.

NOTE: PROCEDURE COPY used (Total process time):

      real time           0.25 seconds

      cpu time            0.14 seconds

17  +%describe(name=describe, dir=., setup=new);

     -

     180

B. To install IVEware for individual use

1. Create the "C:\Program Files\Srclib" directory, copy the ive_sas_windows.zip file into the directory, and unzip it with Winzip or another zip utility.

2. Locate the SAS 6.12 Config.sas, SAS 8 Sasv8.cfg or SAS 9 Sasv9.cfg configuration file controlling your SAS runs. This is usually set by the -config parameter in the command line invoking SAS, which is usually a property of an icon or shortcut. If the file is a network file, you will need to copy it to a local file and alter the -config parameter in the command line invoking SAS to point to it.

Edit the configuration file to include the following lines in the user section, just above the warning "Install application edits below this line. User options should be added above this box comment."

-set SRCLIB "C:\Program Files\Srclib" 
-sasautos (!SRCLIB sasautos)

If you prefer not to edit the configuration file, you can run IVEware by submitting the following line after you open SAS:

options set = SRCLIB "C:\Program Files\Srclib" sasautos = ('!SRCLIB' sasautos) mautosource;

3. To verify that IVEware is installed correctly, copy the ive_sas_examples.zip file into a directory and unzip it with Winzip or another zip utility. Run the ive_examples_command.sas file from a command line or the SAS Enhanced Editor or the ive_examples_editor.sas file from the SAS Program Editor, changing the current directory to the one in which the example files were unzipped. The SAS compare procedures at the end of the run should indicate that the expected and actual output datasets are identical.

903 +%describe(name=describe, dir=.);

i WILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP.

You should run the program using program editor (if you are using setup=new in the command). You can use enhanced editor if you are using setup=old (that is, an preexisting setup file).

Another problem could be that you are not making the changes to the correct config file (you can check it by right clicking the sas icon, properties and find the location of the config file that SAS is using) or you don't have the write privilege to make the changes. You can print the config file to see whether the changes that you have made are saved in the file.
