Although DS2 is supported
by both SAS Foundation and SAS Micro Analytic Service, SAS Micro Analytic
Service has a lightweight, high-performance engine, which does not
support either the full SAS language or PROC statements. Therefore,
PROC statements cannot be used. However, here is an effective DS2
authoring and testing mechanism: develop your DS2 packages in SAS
Foundation using PROC DS2, and publish those packages to SAS Micro
Analytic Service after removing the surrounding PROC DS2 syntax.
It is recommended that
every DS2 module that you publish to SAS Micro Analytic Service include
the following on the first line of code, just above the PACKAGE statement:
This option instructs
DS2 to use SAS missing value handling, and helps ensure that your
DS2 program behaves the same as if it were run in SAS Foundation.
