Join the Conversation!

Want to keep up with your colleagues?  Join in that friendly SAS conversation?  Subscribe to SAS-L now, no charge.  It’s easy!  The letter from Barbara Hendry below tells how to do it:

Dear Colleagues,

I have established an account for an email discussion list for SAS through my university.  This will enable us to simultaneously send messages to, and receive messages from, everyone on the list.  The name of the list is SAS-L.  I will not be moderating the list, meaning that any message you send to SAS-L will automatically go through to everyone.  Keep in mind that your response to any posting will also automatically go to everyone.  Our messages will also be archived for future reference if needed. 

Here's how to subscribe: 

Send an email from your personal account to: listproc@gsaix2.cc.gasou.edu

Do not write anything in the subject field. Be sure to turn off your signature if you have an automatic signature added to messages.

In the body of the E-mail message write:

subscribe SAS-L <your first name> <your last name>

Just write your names, without the brackets.   Don't write anything else in the body of the message.

Send.

You should receive a reply saying that you have been subscribed. 

Sending messages to SAS-L

When you send messages to SAS-L, the full E-mail address to use is:

SAS-L@gsaix2.cc.gasou.edu

If you wish to receive your own postings to the list, you must set this command after you successfully subscribe. To do this, send another message to listproc@gsaix2.cc.gasou.edu.  Leave subject field blank, turn off signature.  In body of the message, write:  set SAS-L mail ack

Unsubscribe

To unsubscribe from the list, send a message to listproc@gsaix2.cc.gasou.edu.  Leave subject field blank, turn off signature.  In body of message write: unsubscribe SAS-L

Let me know if you have any questions.  Also, please let me know of anyone else you think I should invite to join the list. 

Hope this helps us to more efficiently communicate with each other about meeting plans and other topics.
