SAS and Lotus Notes, an ideal combination for ... - sasCommunity

Example: Adding a Notes document to an existing LN-database
filename sasintra notesdb;
data _null_;
FILE sasintra;
PUT '!NSF_DB! d:\testserver\notes\data\hugs\sasintra.nsf'; /* Name of the LN-database */
PUT "!NSF_ATTACH! d:\hugs\output\ikazp.html"; /* Name of the HTML-file */
PUT '!NSF_FORM! RAPH00'; /* Name of the form to use */
PUT "!NSF_FIELD!Titel!Aantal polissen Ikaz-P"; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT '!NSF_FIELD!Status!Publiceren'; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT '!NSF_FIELD!SoortRapport!1'; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT '!NSF_FIELD!RapportType!Per rechtsgrond'; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT "!NSF_FIELD!Jaar!2000"; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT "!NSF_FIELD!Maand!Oktober"; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT "!NSF_FIELD!Periode!10"; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT '!NSF_FIELD!Soortverzekering!Hoofdverzekering'; /* Field defined in the form */
PUT "!NSF_FIELD!DocCode!ikazp"; /* Unique reference to the new LN-document */
PUT "!NSF_FIELD!RapportUrl!/hugs/sasintra.nsf/DbCode/ikazp/$file/ikazp.html?OpenElement";
/* URL containing DocCode and name of HTML */
run;
First a file name reference is created which specifies that the NotesDB access engine is to be
used. Then, the data is written to this file. The Notes database that is to be opened is specified.
Then the HTML file that is to be attached is indicated. In this example, we use a
predetermined Notes form (RAPH00). Finally, the fields that belong to this form are filled in.
It is important to note that the DocCode must be unique and must be specified in the
RapportUrl.
Requirements
To use the NotesDB access engine it is necessary to specify the directory in which the
notes.ini and the notes.exe are found in your search path. This can be done in the control
panel system. Go to environment and change the variable ‘path’. Add the extra directories to
the path. For example (for Windows NT) c:\notes\data;c:\notes’. See for more information
Walker, 1997.
A table gets much more interesting when you add some extra features to it. The following
examples show how you can add a drilldown to your table, how you can make a link to an
Excel-spreadsheet (so a user can download the information) and how you can create and add a
(company) style.
Example: A static webpage with drilldown
proc format;
value $ozc
'00' ='Buitenland'
'11' ='Brabant’;
run;
filename odsout "d:\hugs\output";
ods html body = "rg.html"
path = odsout
newfile = output;
proc tabulate data=hugs.hugsd1_2;
run;
ods html close;
