  1. A program for exporting SAS datasets to Argus Johan Heldal Statistics Norway

  2. SAS macro TOARGUS • Reads a SAS dataset • Outputs a .csv file, ’;’ separated • Creates an ARGUS meta data file (.rda) • Applies to both Mu and Tau • Creates an INPUT statement (.sas) for reading a safe file from Mu back to SAS. • An open code for anybody to improve.

  3. How to run TOARGUS %LET LIBNAME = NIH; * The libname for the SAS dataset; %LET INPATH = REMOTE '$METODER/1253/NIH_kartlegging/wk12' SERVER=ovibos; * Path to the SAS dataset; %LET DATASET = utvalg; * The name of the SAS dataset; %LET OUTPATH = H:\ESSnet\Confidentiality; * Directory for .csv and .rda files; %LET KEEP = t_senter kjonn barn sivstand samtykke retur res utland land fylke alder; * The variables to be transferred; /* Run the macro. */ %INCLUDE"H:\ESSnet\Confidentiality\SAS-Argus\ToArgus.sas"; %TOARGUS;

  4. <SEPARATOR> ";" t_senter 2 <RECODABLE> kjonn 1 <RECODABLE> barn 8 . <NUMERIC> sivstand 1 <RECODABLE> samtykke 1 <RECODABLE> retur 1 <RECODABLE> res 1 <RECODABLE> utland 4 <RECODABLE> land 4 <RECODABLE> fylke 4 <RECODABLE> alder 8 . <NUMERIC> Metadata specific for confidentiality should be specified in ARGUS i.e. sample weight, holding indicator, request, household identifier, suppressweight etc. The metafile (utvalg.rda)

  5. The input file (.sas) INFILE &OUTPATH\&DATASET..saf DELIMITER=';' DSD; INPUT t_senter : $CHAR2. kjonn : $CHAR1. barn : 8. sivstand : $CHAR1. samtykke : $CHAR1. retur : $CHAR1. res : $CHAR1. utland : $CHAR4. land : $CHAR4. fylke : $CHAR4. alder : 8. ;

  6. Next to do • Write code for generation of codelist files (.cdl) from associated SAS-formats. • Write SAS macro for generation of tabular input to Tau. • The table with relevant information and metafile.
