When you
are running SAS, you may try to get the SAS online
help from the help window and encounter an error Page
not found. This, and a number of other problems can be
fixed by running the SAS hotfix bundle that is
available on the SAS web page. Instructions for
doing so follow:
Go
to
http://www.sas.com
Click on
Customer Support…Software Downloads…Hot Fixes…
You can
then download the hotfix for Base SAS or for SAS/Stat
for SAS Release 8.2. The Base SAS hotfix is
appropriate for this problem.
Go to
the operating system that you are using (Windows) and
then you can download the hotfix. Double-click on the
hotfix in your computer to install it. When you
re-start SAS, you should be able to go to Help…SAS
online help and get the default SAS help.You will see
a message in the log that says “Note: this
installation is running Base SAS hot fix bundle
82BX07”.
If you
wish to use the SAS online Doc, you have two options:
1)
Install the SAS online
doc CD on your computer and modify your sasv8.cfg (SAS
config file) to point to the correct location in your
computer. (Replace the –DOCLOC line in your sasv8.cfg
file to point to the file onldoc.htm on your local
computer. An example is shown below. This will not
necessarily be the same on your computer).
/* Default locations for online help */
-DOCLOC "file:///C:\SAS_online_doc\sashtml\onldoc.htm"
Now, you should be able to access this help by going
to Help…SAS online Doc.
2)
You can also access SAS online doc from any internet
browser. Simply go to the SAS web site
http://www.sas.com and click
on Customer Support…Documentation…Products &
Solutions…Documentation for SAS, Version 8. The first
time you use this service, you will need to register.
SAS will send you a password that can then be used any
time you access this online documentation. It is the
same as that on the online doc CD.
