In order to run the API macros from Base SAS^® on Windows, the Java API and Macro API clients must be installed and configured.

In these instructions, the Macro API are installed at the following location: "C:\sddapi"

1. Install the Java API
   • See Installation Note 58434: SAS® Drug Development API - Install and Configure for instructions.
2. Download the corresponding version of the SAS^® Drug Development Macro API client.
   • Refer to Usage Note 58433: SAS^® Drug Development API Macros - Get instance Java API and API Macro versions for information about how to get the correct Macro API client version.
   • If using SAS^® Drug Development, refer to Installation Note 46609: SAS^® Drug Development 4 - Accessing Java API all versions client and macro downloads for links to download the API clients.
   • If using SAS^® Life Science Analytics Framework, refer to Installation Note 57862: SAS^® Life Science Analytics Framework - Accessing Java API all versions client and macro downloads for links to download the API clients.
3. Unzip the content of the SAS Macro API ZIP file to "C:\sddapi\sas"
   • "sas" folder contains:
   • C:\sddapi\sas\conf – contains configuration files
   • C:\sddapi\sas\docs – contains documentation for API Macros
   • C:\sddapi\sas\lib – contains JAR files for SAS API Macros
   • C:\sddapi\sas\sasmacros – contains sas macro files
4. Open sasv9.cfg file located at !sasroot in a text editor.
   • The default !sasroot location for SAS 9.4 is:
   • C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\u8 - if using UTF-8 encoding
   • C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en - if using LATIN1 encoding
   • Use UTF-8, if possible, as SAS Drug Development uses UTF-8 encoding.
   • For more information about the SAS Configuration File, including specifying system options and creating a customized configuration file, see our Documentation on Files Used by SAS
5. Copy options below and paste immediately before the WARNING section. Change red text to the location that you have installed the Java and Macro APIs.
   

   /* define the location of the SAS Drug Development API Macros*/ -insert sasautos "C:\sddapi\sas\sasmacros" /*put both the macro and api client jars on the classpath*/ -JREOPTIONS=(-Dsas.app.class.dirs=C:\sddapi\sas\lib;C:\sddapi\java\lib) /* this prevents a classpath not set warning from javaobj*/ -SET CLASSPATH !CLASSPATH

   • Below is a screenshot of where the above options should be pasted.
   
6. Test that Java API and Macro API are installed correctly by logging in and out.
   • See Sample 58476: SAS Drug Development API Macros - Log on and log off for code to log on and log off using API Macros.
