SAS Social Network Analysis<\/a> can create networks from input data, and to do so it makes use of a pre-compiled \u201clink macro\u201d which is bundled with SNA. This link macro needs to be invoked from a base SAS program, but to do that, you need to tell SAS where to find it.<\/p>\n Note \u2013 There were literally zero Google hits for the exact name of this link macro. In case you\u2019re curious, it\u2019s called % sfs_net_main_link_macros<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Anyway I eventually found the location of these macros, in a catalog file.<\/p>\n Note \u2013 Not easy to find, and not documented.

The macros are compiled into the sasmacr.sasb7cat<\/strong> file.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Once you know, it\u2019s very very simple.<\/p>\n In other words your code should have the following statements:<\/p>\n This will make the next invocation of the macro succeed, since SAS now knows it’s in your libname directory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having not done the Advanced Base SAS certification, this was a nightmare to work out.
