Features

Code Execution

You can run code on SAS Viya, SAS 9 EBI or on regular Foundation SAS!

Execute code on SAS Viya

When a SAS program is selected, you can click the running man icon to execute that code on SAS Viya.

snippet

The first time you do this, you will receive a series of prompts:

Name of Target. This is an alias relating to the server on which you intend to run the code. It will be added as a GLOBAL target, located at ~/.sasjsrc. More info here).
Server Url. The full URL (including port if needed) of your SAS Viya server.
Server Type. Currenly only SAS Viya is supported.
CLIENT / SECRET. You will need to ask your administrator for these, and they should have the authorization_code grant type. More info here.
Select default. Click 'yes' to avoid having to select your target each time.

You can now execute code! You can also highlight a section of code and run that. Each log returned will be stored in a sasjsresults folder. You can also run the SASjs: Execute Code command from the command palette(Cmd+Shift+P).

Execute code on Foundation SAS

In order to run on Foundation / Base / Desktop SAS you will need a running version of SASjs server (on the same machine where SAS is installed). You can download SASjs server here. Configuration instructions are here.

Once SASjs server is running, just click the running man and select 'add new target'. Fill in the prompts as follows:

Name of target. This is the alias for connecting to your chosen SAS server.
serverUrl. The location of SASjs server, eg http://localhost:5000
serverType. Choose SASJS

You can now execute code. The log will be returned in a new window.

SAS Lint and Format

Spend less time on code reviews and more time pushing code! Select VIEW->PROBLEMS (or ctrl+shift+M) to examine the currently opened SAS program for issues.

Rules can be configured by creating a .sasjslint file in the root of your project as follows:

{
    "noTrailingSpaces": true,
    "noEncodedPasswords": true,
    "hasDoxygenHeader": true,
    "noSpacesInFileNames": true,
    "maxLineLength": 80,
    "lowerCaseFileNames": true,
    "noTabIndentation": true,
    "indentationMultiple": 2
}

We've now added the ability to automatically fix certain problems within SAS files, such as trailing spaces, missing Doxygen header blocks and missing macro names in %mend statements. You can use this feature in two ways:

On demand - by selecting 'Format Document' either from the right click menu or from the command palette.
By enabling automatic formatting of files on save/paste from the Settings menu.
