  • UNIX X Command Tips and Tricks David B
    SESUG Paper 122-2019 UNIX X Command Tips and Tricks David B. Horvath, MS, CCP ABSTRACT SAS® provides the ability to execute operating system level commands from within your SAS code – generically known as the “X Command”. This session explores the various commands, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and their alternatives. The focus is on UNIX/Linux but much of the same applies to Windows as well. Under SAS EG, any issued commands execute on the SAS engine, not necessarily on the PC. X %sysexec Call system Systask command Filename pipe &SYSRC Waitfor Alternatives will also be addressed – how to handle when NOXCMD is the default for your installation, saving results, and error checking. INTRODUCTION In this paper I will be covering some of the basics of the functionality within SAS that allows you to execute operating system commands from within your program. There are multiple ways you can do so – external to data steps, within data steps, and within macros. All of these, along with error checking, will be covered. RELEVANT OPTIONS Execution of any of the SAS System command execution commands depends on one option's setting: XCMD Enables the X command in SAS. Which can only be set at startup: options xcmd; ____ 30 WARNING 30-12: SAS option XCMD is valid only at startup of the SAS System. The SAS option is ignored. Unfortunately, ff NOXCMD is set at startup time, you're out of luck. Sorry! You might want to have a conversation with your system administrators to determine why and if you can get it changed.

  • Troubleshooting and Recovering from Problems
    Microsoft Windows 7 Unleashed, Paul McFedries, Sams Publishing, 0672330695, July, 201 CHAPTER 21 IN THIS CHAPTER . Troubleshooting Strategies: Troubleshooting and Determining the Source of a Problem Recovering from . General Troubleshooting Tips Problems . More Troubleshooting Tools . Troubleshooting Using Online Resources If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic. Recovering from a Problem —Lewis Carroll A long time ago, somebody proved mathematically that it was impossible to make any reasonably complex software program problem-free. As the number of variables increase, as the interactions of subroutines and objects become more complex, and as the underlying logic of a program grows beyond the ability of a single person to grasp all at once, errors inevitably creep into the code. Given Windows 7’s status as possibly the most complex software ever created, the bad news is that there are certainly problems lurking in the weeds. However, the good news is that the overwhelm- ing majority of these problems are extremely obscure and appear only under the rarest circumstances. This doesn’t mean that you’re guaranteed a glitch-free computing experience—far from it. Third-party programs and devices cause the majority of computer woes, either because they have inherent problems themselves or because they don’t get along well with Windows 7. Using software, devices, and device drivers designed for Windows 7 can help tremendously, as can the maintenance program I outlined in Chapter 7, “Maintaining Your Windows 7 System.” But computer problems, like the proverbial death and taxes, are certainties in life, so you need to know how to troubleshoot and resolve the problems that will inevitably come your way.

  • How Do I Use Windbg Debugger to Troubleshoot a Blue Screen of Death?
    How do I use WinDBG Debugger to troubleshoot a Blue Screen of Death? Have you ever wondered how to obtain extra information from the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) that will sometimes show up and give you a cryptic, Stop: 0x00000000 error message, before flashing off the screen. The error message is trying to point you to a fatal operating system error that could be caused by a number of problems. Microsoft's WinDBG will help you to debug and diagnose the problem and then lead you to the root cause so you can fix it. Steps in a nutshell The first step is to create and capture the memory dump, associated with the BSOD you are trying to troubleshoot. The second step is to install and configure WinDBG and the Symbols path to the correct Symbols folder. We can then use WinDBG to Debug and analyze the screen dump, and then get to the root cause of the problem. Create memory dump Keep in mind that if you are not experiencing a blue screen fatal system error, there will be not memory dump to capture. 1. Press the WinKey + Pause 2. Click Advanced and under Start up and Recovery select Settings. 3. Uncheck Automatically restart. 4. Click on the dropdown arrow under Write debugging information. 5. Select Small memory dump (64 KB) and make sure the output is %SystemRoot%\Minidump. 6. Restart the PC normally as this will allow the System to error and Blue Screen and then create the Minidump. The location of the Minidump Files can be found here: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini000000-01.dmp To download and install the Windows debugging tools for your version of Windows, visit the Microsoft Debugging Tools Web.

There are the programmers at Apple who wrote the system software. There are the programmers who wrote the software you use, including the extensions and control panels that modify the system software. And then there’s the hardware, complete with a number of additional software elements (in the ROM chips, for example), both from Apple and other companies. With so many instructions being shouted at it, no wonder the Mac can get flustered and throw up its hands in frustration. The problems you may encounter vary: 1047 1048 Part IV: Attachments I Mysterious system crashes or freezes I Error messages I Startup problems (the blinking question mark icon or the Sad Mac icon) I Application problems, when the Mac simply doesn’t do what it’s sup- posed to I Printing troubles I Disk problems (their icons don’t show up on the desktop or the Mac reports that they’re “not a Macintosh disk”) A word about troubleshooting There’s a certain emotional element to a Mac going wrong. The Mac, after all, is betraying you, usually at a moment when you can least afford it. We don’t know about you, but when our Macs go goofy, we feel a rising well of frustra- tion and loss of control. Our heart rate doesn’t go back to normal until some semblance of normal operation has returned.

  • Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
    Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) The Blue Screen of Death (also known as BSoD or Blue Screen), known officially as a Stop Error or a bug check, is the error screen displayed by the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems upon encountering a critical error, of a non-recoverable nature, that causes the system to crash. The term is named after the color of the screen generated by the error. In Unix-based operating systems, a similar term is kernel panic. Stop errors are hardware or driver related, causing the computer to stop responding in order to prevent damage to the hardware or data. In the later versions of Windows (Windows NT and later) the screen presents information for diagnostic purposes that was collected as the operating system performed a bug check. Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) – Explained, Causes & Solution 1.(stop code 0X000000BE) Attempted Write To Readonly Memory Possible causes and solutions: This symptom is caused by a driver or program, or a service, such as some files corrupted file error drivers in different versions. To uninstall the program to fix that before this problem occurs. If a driver went to roll back drivers for older drivers or applied to the last (if later). If they service the us open before a problem occurs, turn off or disable it! 2.(stop code 0X000000C2) Bad Pool Caller Possible causes and solutions: This is similar to the above but focus their hardware is caused by the different countries, such as South grade Hardware ram, the card is not compatible with XP harddisk solution, remove the device that South grade.
