I use to make a living 20 years ago writing dll's for FORTRAN to call native OS and custom functions. 2 weeks ago a SAS AnalYst wanted to do some very odd things that SAS can't do and the only way to do it was calling dll's to interface to Windows and Office. Brushing up on SAS, and I swear FORTRAN was easier. Hopefully this will be a niche to exploit for a few months/years, I use to be pretty good at this.

I spent 4 years programming in SAS but have only done a small amount of functional programming.
With SAS in essence there is Base SAS, which is very limited, as well as a whole bunch of libraries that are required to do anything useful in SAS.
The problem comes with the libraries which appear to follow no particular pattern in their use when it comes to their functions.
So one function that performs an analysis on your dataset will have completely different parameters and calling systems to another function that again runs similar analysis on your dataset.
The conclusion I came to was that SAS was a system that was built by people with very little experience in programming - meaning that the language really gets in your way.
As an example - if you sort a dataset via sql, in SAS, then take that dataset and extract the first 10 items from the dataset you will find that the dataset is no longer sorted and those 10 items could be from anywhere in the datset.

You now have me in an infinitely recursive loop having to think that one through!

Wait... Does this mean you are the OTHER FORTRAN programmer on this website?

Hi!
I am trying to create new items on the right click menu on a ChartSpace (OWC11). This is for copy image to clipboard and possible other tasks.
Any that can help?

Reminds me a scene in a late 70's TV show called Taxi. one person was helping another study for a driving test;
Questioner: "what does a yellow light mean?"
Answer: "slow down"
Questioner: "what......does.......a ...... yellow .......light .......mean?"
Answer: "I said slow down"
Questioner: "what..................does....................a .................. yellow ....................light ...................mean?"
This went on for a while, it was hysterical.

Not safe for work nor kid sister friendly so I won't post it here - but look up the Peanuts Lauder cartoon for a similar joke.

ROTFL! That is probably the funniest Peanuts I've ever seen.
Coming to think of it, that's the only funny Peanuts I've seen.
