\n“That’s the display department.”
\n“With a torch.”
\n“Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”
\n“So had the stairs.”
\n“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
\n“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying\u00a0Beware of the Leopard<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Last night, I was trying to find the LIBNAME statement for my course so I could upload data to be used by the class with SAS On-Demand. Here is where you find it.<\/p>\n

Go to your sodareg (the SAS On-Demand for Academics Registration page)<\/p>\n

https:\/\/support.sas.com\/ctx3\/sodareg\/index.html?execution=e1s1<\/a><\/p>\n

Which my Safari hates and refuses to open, by the way, so I just did it in Chrome. When you log in, next to the course name you will see a link that says info and above that link is a note that this is where you get information about your course setup, including instructions for storing data on the server.<\/p>\n

You might think that is perfectly obvious and you would read it. Actually, given that 7,500 people on April Fools Day clicked on a user contract that gave GameStation the right to their immortal soul<\/a>, including agreeing that GameStation could serve notice to hand over one’s immortal soul in six (6) foot high letters of fire, I think it is safe to conclude that most people completely ignore user agreements and don’t read instructions.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/a>So, am I going to change my behavior in this regard? Well, since most “info” from manufacturers includes information like that I should not iron my clothes while wearing them or that I agree not to sue them even if the box contains a clan of badgers instead of the software I ordered and said badger clan leaps out of the box and chews off my fingers because, well, I should have been prepared for such contingency with badger repellent handy and it’s all my own fault, really – so, no –<\/p>\n

– unless it comes from SAS On-Demand, in which case, I might.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way on another random note, if you are looking for your site number, which I don’t think you really need for SAS On-Demand but the tech support form requires it, in SAS Enterprise Guide, go into the help menu and select About SAS Enterprise Guide and a menu will pop up with your site number.<\/p>\n
