The BasePlus package [ver. 2.0.1]

The BasePlus package [ver. 2.0.1]

This release is dedicated to all dyslexics in the world.

Changes:

New macros:

• %expandDataSetsList() allowing to expand data set lists of the form: a1-a3, b_:, mixed, and _all_;
• %unifyVarsCaseSize() allowing to convert all variables in a list of datasets to all-low-case or all-upcase letters.

Both macros are result of recent discussions at SAS-L and communities.sas.com.

New format/informats:

• bpklength.
• bplength.
• Bug fix in spelling (lenght vs length).

See documentation for details.
