Can somebody direct me to a good SAS text editor for Windows.
Basically I need for just syntax highlighting (I don't need
an editor with prompts etc).

you mean the old DEC EDT editor, or an emulator?

I've used Anker-Berg Sonne's SEDT on pc's, and it does a pretty good job..

i am wondering here if there is anyone who has experience using emacs
+ ess on unix and run the sas within emacs? If yes, how is the
configuration of emacs?
I really appreciate any insight.

Similar to Crimson Editor is Context Editor:

SAS highlighter: http://www.contexteditor.org/highlighters.php?filter=Q-T


Alternatively, give sas2themax a try. I use it fairly often and it
works great. http://sas2themax.com

I don't suppose anybody out there is using the 'e' editor for sas are they? I'm really liking it for ruby/rails work, but haven't tried to set it up for sas. And since it's a clone of a mac program (textmate) there doesn't seem to be much in the way of sas support...

I never thought I'd consider ditching ultraedit, but those snippets... So convenient.

Hi Dan,

Thanks a lot for the help. I was able to configure it.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. I too use Textpad but I don't know how
to how to set it up so that it can highlight for the SAS
syntax. How to configure it for the SAS extension syntax.
Thanks
Cherish
Cherish,

Here are some instructions that I provided to a co-worker about setting up Textpad to do syntax highlighting:

The process of setting up Textpad to do SAS syntax highlighting is not too difficult. It will be similar to, but not exactly like, the SAS program editor syntax coloring. I am assuming that you want to set up Textpad on your local machine.

1. The file, sas3.syn needs to be copied to the C:\Program Files\Textpad4\system subdirectory. You can get the file here http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/syntax/sas3.zip (There are a couple other syntax files on the Textpad site; this is the one I use).
2. Open Textpad and click on Configure->New document class. This will open a document class "wizard".
3. Give the new class the name, SAS, and click next
4. enter *.sas for the class member and click next
5. check the box "enable syntax highlighting" and choose sas3.syn from the drop-down list for the syntax definition file, then click next.
6. click finish


Hope this is helpful,

Dan

Cherish,

You can request for a free copy of my Notebook Light. Its built-in Code
Editor is ready to use -- no complex configuration required just for syntax
highlighting. You can easily submit your code/program for processing by the
local SAS server. Batch processing? -- no problem!

It opens SAS log files in color, too, plus you get IntelliSense and a nice
code indenter, which you can't find anywhere.

If you want to boost your productivity, this is the right tool to own. I
don't believe anyone is too old to be learning new tricks!

And in case you didn't know, this tool has the "thumbs up" from Paul Kent,
Vice President, Platform Research and Development (based from an e-mail I
received from him last year).

Regards, Audi
