If you are using a home PC with a modem, to access Grove, do the following:
Get on the Internet and type: http://www.gatorlink.ufl.edu. Click on "Start" in the lower left-hand corner, then click on "Run". In the displayed window type : telnet grove.ufl.edu. Enter your login name and password.

If you are using one of the PC's in 211 CSE,  just login using your Gatorlink
username and password.

To create a SAS program, you can use one of the available text editors, e.g., emacs (see the WEB site concerning text editors). The created file should have a name followed by a SAS suffix. For example, myjob.sas. To run a SAS job, type "sas filename", where filename is the name of your file. To see the output on the screen, type "more filename.lst". To exit Grove, type "logout".

Note : The lpr command prints a file on the CSE line printers located in CSE 211 .You can also print to the charged laser printers in CSE 211.
 
 

Using SAS on the PC's in 211 CSE



Login using your Gatorlink username and password.

Click on "Start", "Program", then click on "SAS System" and  on "SAS System for Windows V8".  You should be in the "Prog Editor " window". Click on "File"  in the upper left corner, then choose "New file". Type your SAS code, then save it by clicking on "File" and choose "Save as". Use a name for your file , for example, first.sas. Note that the file extension "sas" should always be used.

To run the SAS program, click on the "Run" button across the top, then click on "Submit". The output will appear in the "Output" window. Save the output by clicking on "File", then "Save as", and use lst as a file extension, for example, first.lst.

To recall the SAS code in the "Prog Editor", click on "Run", then choose "Recall last submit". You need to do this if you have to make any corrections before exiting SAS.

You can view any window by clicking on "View", then select one of  the "Prog Editor", "Log",  and "Output" options.  This allows you to move between the three windows  if you need to edit your program after it has disappeared from the Program Editor window,  view your output, or  if you want to check any error messages in the "Log " window.

To exit from SAS, select "Exit" from the File menu at the top left of the screen. This will put you back into the Windows environment. Logout of your account by clicking on "Start", then click on "log off".  Note that you need to be in the "Prog
Editor" window to exit from SAS.
