SAS software advice
After installing the Bayesian Procedures, run bprocs_tpl.sas to fix a potential bug in the installation routine. Then run the examples to make sure that everything is working. Check the SAS log for error messages. Contact SAS Customer Support for assistance.
RASmacro installation instructions
To install RASmacro (or any SAS macros), here is a brief overview.
For more detailed information, especially for MS Windows, see Installing SAS Macros
1. unzip them into a directory denoted by ?????? (use the actual name)
2. edit your SAS configuration file, sasv8.cfg or sasv9_local.cfg
2a. you probably have a line something like the following:
-sasautos '!SASROOT/sasautos' /* for Unix/Linux */ -sasautos '!SASROOT\core\sasmacro' /* for Windows */ 2b. edit or add the corresponding line as follows:
-sasautos ( '!SASROOT/sasautos' '??????' ) /* for Unix/Linux */ -sasautos ( '!SASROOT\core\sasmacro' '??????' ) /* for Windows */ 3. Keep in mind that RASmacro is often updated with new features and bug-fixes. For example, if you installed it before 10/11/2007, then you will need to update.
