Re: 50 Years of SAS
d collaborated to develop an ANOVA routine for the Department of Agriculture. Tony had been an IBM developer of the data base for the cold war's Distant Early Warning (DEW line) radar system, and Jim was a well-known statistician. Both recognized the weakness of the existing stat packages: they were only subroutines that had to be invoked by other programs that had to prepare and manage the data to be analyzed. By creating a language, a database, and the statistics, the Statistical Analysis System expanded well beyond the original ANOVA routine and had been tested at several Agricultural Experimental Stations and other universities, but the 1972 announcement was the first public release of the Statistical Analysis System, and in October, 1972, State Farm was the FIRST real customer to install the SAS package from NCSU's Statistics Department. Within days of receipt of SAS, I was extracting CPU time and PROGRAM name and Core-Hours to produce reports on resource consumption direct from SMF records. When the CPU time recorded in the Kommand billing records was found to be many hours less than the CPU time that my SAS program found reading SMF directly, we discovered that Kommand times were truncated (because COBOL fixed length fields were used), but because SAS stores all numerics as floating point numbers, SAS effectively had eliminated the exposure to truncation and to un-initialization, the two most common causes of numerical errors in computer programs! Over the next months, I made presentations on the use of SAS software and began to discuss the design of the "PDB", the "Performance Data Base", a daily repository of performance and capacity related datasets created from SMF data. Presentations were given to the Bloomington and Chicago chapters of the ACM and DPMA; the SAS data base was mentioned in my paper (on the use of the SAS data base to create simulation input for the System Analysis Machine directly from actual SMF data) presented at the 1973 SSCS (Symposium on the Simulation of Computer Systems) at the National Bureau of Standards, and at a BOF (Birds of a Feather) informal session at the Seventh Annual Interface Symposium at Iowa State. Many XRAY hardware monitor users became aware of State Farm's PDB through the Midwest TESDATA Users Group, which held its inaugural meeting in 1973 at State Farm. These presentations were only half technical; I also had to convince attendees that staffing of this new measurement concept was cost justified by the real dollar savings. John Chapman had used an XRAY at Standard Oil and invited me to join SHARE's Computer Measurement and Evaluation (CME) project, and I described SAS and the PDB in a closed session of the CME project at my first SHARE meeting, SHARE 42 in Houston in March of 1974. The first open session presentation on the use of the SAS System to process SMF data was at the next SHARE 43 that August in Chicago before to an audience of over 750 (half of the attendees!) That session was split with an IBM presentation on their new SGP, Statistics Gathering Package, an FDP that selected a few fields from a few SMF records. IBM spoke first, then I showed what we had done with SAS at State Farm. One attendee stood and asked the IBM author of SGP, Bill Tetzlaff, "Now that you have seen SAS, is there any reason why you would still recommend your SGP product?" Several hundred SHARE sites acquired SAS that fall as a result of this SHARE session! I developed my Doctoral Thesis while working at State Farm Insurance, 1972-1976, proved it while at Sun Oil Company, 1976-1984, and in 1984, at the urging of my wife, Judith, Vice President, left Sun Oil to create Merrill Consultants (I write software and support it, she runs the business). We commercialized my dissertation into our MXG Software Product, which has been licensed by over 7000 corporations worldwide, where it is used by senior technicians for the Measurement of the Performance of the Large Scale commercial (IBM) mainframes, providing response time, utilization, and bottleneck detection, for Capacity Planning, for cost accounting of departmental resource usage, and for security auditing of who's using what program, what files, etc. among its many facilities, and is delivered in 100% Source Code. At its peak approximately 10,000 technicians used MXG and SAS daily. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Jerome Benting JMR Software Waterview Corner, 2 Ernest Oppenheimer Avenue, Johannesburg 2198, Gauteng, ZA t: +27 (0)11 484 5070 m: +27 (0)73 195 6766 e: jer...@jmr.co.za www.jmr.co.za<http://www.jmr.co.za> [Facebook icon] <https://www.facebook.com/JMRSoftware/> [Linked

I have a customer that requires me to use Passport to access their system. As my desktop is a linux based system, I have set up a dedicated windows 7 pro box for thinks like this that require windows. I recently moved to a new laptop with a different linux distro (to LMDE4 from OpenSUSE) and with that distro changed, I swapped from KRDC to Remmina. And, now Passport is not working well. (Passpord worked fine with KRDC.) When RDP'ed into the win7 box with Remmina, everything works well execpt Passport. The keystrokes entered do not get entered into the Passport 3270 screen. I *can* cut-n-paste from a notebook file into the 3270 screen. PF keys and such seem to work. Anybody hit something like this?
