REGISTRY Procedure

Example 4: Comparing Registry Files

Features:

COMPAREREG1= and COMPAREREG2= options

STARTAT= option

Details

This example uses the REGISTRY procedure options COMPAREREG1= and COMPAREREG2= to specify two registry files for comparison.

Program

libname proclib
'SAS-library';

proc registry comparereg1='sasuser.regstry'

   startat='CORE\EXPLORER'

   comparereg2='proclib.regstry';
run;

Program Description

Declare the PROCLIB library. The PROCLIB library contains a registry file.

libname proclib
'SAS-library';

Start PROC REGISTRY and specify the first registry file to be used in the comparison.

proc registry comparereg1='sasuser.regstry'

Limit the comparison to the registry keys including and following the specified registry key. The STARTAT= option limits the scope of the comparison to the EXPLORER subkey under the CORE key. By default the comparison includes the entire contents of both registries.

   startat='CORE\EXPLORER'

Specify the second registry file to be used in the comparison.

   comparereg2='proclib.regstry';
run;

Output: Log
