4. Modify the Macro Put legend of the figure
Change the figure screen size
Format the rate with 2 decimals
Refine title of table and figure by the caption of variable (not the variable name, such as edu)
Change the x-axis to real years
Flexible on generating any years report

5. Issues: WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro BOXPLOT not resolved.
WARNING: This CREATE TABLE statement recursively references the target table. A consequence of this is a possible data integrity problem.
Data allstas – change label 1,2,3 to real levels
Two decimal for rate
Create Legend
Automatic run Matlab and latex

6. 4 corrections proc sql; create table _sta&year as
select " "||L.&predictor length=9, sum(bvs.total) as totn, sum(bvs.&outcome) as outn
from fl.s&year as bvs LEFT JOIN fl.VARLEVELS as L ON bvs.&predictor = L.level
group by L.&predictor
union
select "Statewide" as &predictor, sum(total) as totn, sum(&outcome) as outn from fl.s&year;
create table sta&year as select *, round(outn/totn*100,0.01) as rate from _sta&year;
Corrections:
- real levels
- round up rate with 2 decimals
- use _sta&year to solve a warning -
WHY:
- length=9
- " "||L.&predictor
- _sta&year

12. Issues an operating-environment command from within a SAS session
In a windowing session, the X command works exactly like the X statement except that you issue the command from a command line. You submit the X statement from the Program Editor window.
The X statement is similar to the SYSTEM function, the X command, and the CALL SYSTEM routine.
In most cases, the X statement, X command or %SYSEXEC macro statement are preferable because they require less overhead.
However, the SYSTEM function can be executed conditionally. The X statement is a global statement and executes as a DATA step is being compiled.

13. Matlab-List of Startup Options for Windows Platforms.
Description
/c licensefile
Set LM_LICENSE_FILE to licensefile. It can have the form
/logfile logfilename
Automatically write output from MATLAB to the specified log file.
/minimize
Start MATLAB with the desktop minimized. Any desktop tools or documents that were undocked when MATLAB was last closed will not be minimized upon startup.
/nosplash
Start MATLAB without displaying the MATLAB splash screen.
/r MATLAB_file
Automatically run the specified MATLAB M-file, either commands supplied with MATLAB or your own M-files, immediately after MATLAB starts. This is also referred to as calling MATLAB in batch mode. Separate multiple commands with commas or semicolons (;). M-files must be on the MATLAB path or in the MATLAB startup directory. Do not include the pathname or a file extension.

14. Matlab - List of Startup Options for UNIX Platforms.
Description
-h or -help
Display startup options (without starting MATLAB).
-logfile log
Automatically write output from MATLAB to the specified log file.
-nodesktop
Start MATLAB without bringing up the MATLAB desktop. Use this option to run without an X-window, for example, in VT100 mode, or in batch processing mode. Note that if you pipe to MATLAB using the > constructor, the nodesktop option is used automatically.
With nodesktop, you can still use most development environment tools by starting them via a function. For example, use preferences to open the Preferences dialog box and helpbrowser to open the Help browser.
Do not use nodesktop to provide a command line interface. If you prefer a command line interface, select Desktop > Desktop Layout > Command Window > Only.
-nosplash
Start MATLAB without displaying the splash screen during startup.
-r MATLAB_command
Automatically run the specified MATLAB M-file, either commands supplied with MATLAB or your own M-files, immediately after MATLAB starts. This is also referred to as calling MATLAB in batch mode. Separate multiple commands with commas or semicolons (;). M-files must be on the MATLAB path or in the MATLAB startup directory. Do not include the pathname or a file extension.
