For example, there is the I command, which " inserts one or more blank lines," or the TS command, which "splits the line of text at the cursor, and moves the remaining text to a new line," - and you'd really need those because simply pressing the Return key wouldn't work (if I remember correctly). Unless they have improved it recently, you would have to learn commands (!) with a certain syntax (or remember them from SAS 6) to perform even the most basic text editing. Then, if you switch to the SAS Program Editor in a Unix environment, you will know almost immediately why that clinical company resorted to an alternative text editor such as UltraEdit. I think the important keyword here is "Unix" and I assume that you are familiar with the SAS Enhanced Editor or any other common text editor under Windows, e.g., Notepad. Why would a company need to use this software? They are using SAS 9.4 on Unix not SAS Viya yet. Hello had a conversation with a clinical company yesterday and they mentioned they were using UltraEdit with SAS.
#Ultraedit 19 key code
I would write and debug programs on Turbo Pascal before transferring the code files to the school system because I loathed the VI editor that was the only one available at school. Do they "need" to? Depends on how essential the features the user wants that are not in the SAS supplied editor.įWIW, once upon a time I was in a programming class that used Pascal as the language. There were also some useful features such as customizable syntax highlighting that were not in the SAS 6 version of the editor. Since I was working in SAS and FORTRAN having a single editor that let me choose which system to submit the code files to was helpful.
I discovered the programming editor EPM and quite often used that as one of the features of that editor was to submit the file to different programs. Once upon a time my SAS environment was hosted on an OS/2 operating system.
So choice of an editor is one way that users can implement such. There are things some editors do that some programmers consider "essential", whether it be code formatting or regular expression search and replace or something else that others don't.
Editor choices (and abilities vs limitations) is a very old programmer topic.
