You can install the StatRep package by downloading statrep.zip from support.sas.com/StatRepPackage, which contains:

  • doc/statrepmanual.pdf – The StatRep User’s Guide (this manual)
  • doc/quickstart.tex – A template and tutorial sample LATEX file
  • sas/statrep_macros.sas – The StatRep SAS macros
  • sas/statrep_tagset.sas – The StatRep SAS tagset for LaTeX tabular output
  • statrep.ins – The LATEX package installer file
  • statrep.dtx – The LATEX package itself

Unzip the file statrep.zip to a temporary directory and perform the following steps:

  • Step 1: Install the StatRep SAS Macros: Copy the file statrep_macros.sas to a local directory. If you have a folder where you keep your personal set of macros, copy the file there. Otherwise, create a directory such as C:\mymacros and copy the file into that directory.
  • Step 2: Install the StatRep LaTeX Package: These instructions show how to install the StatRep package in your LATEX distribution for your personal use.
    • a. For MikTEX users: If you do not have a directory for your own packages, choose a directory name to contain your packages (for example, C:\localtexmf). In the following instructions, this directory is referred to as the “root directory”.
    • b. Create the additional subdirectories under the above root directory: tex/latex/statrep. Your directory tree will have the following structure: root directory/tex/latex/statrep.
    • c. Copy the files statrep.dtx, statrep.ins, statrepmanual.pdf, and statrepmanual.tex to the statrep subdirectory.
    • d. In the command prompt, cd to the statrep directory and enter the following command: pdftex statrep.insThe command creates several files, one of which is the configuration file, statrep.cfg.
  • Step 3: Tell the StatRep Package the Location of the StatRep SAS Macros. Edit the statrep.cfg file that was generated in Step 2d so that the macro \SRmacropath contains the correct location of the macro file from step 1. For example, if you copied the statrep_macros.sas file to a directory named C:\mymacros, then you de- fine macro \SRmacropath as follows: \def\SRmacropath{C:/mymacros/statrep_macros.sas} Use the forward slash as the directory name delimiter instead of the backslash, which is a special character in LaTeX.

You can now test and experiment with the package. Create a working directory, and copy the file quickstart.tex into it. To generate the quick-start document:

  1. Compile the document with pdfLATEX. You can use a LATEX-aware editor such as TEXworks, or use the command-line command pdflatex. This step generates the SAS program that is needed to produce the results.
  2. Execute the SAS program quickstart_SR.sas, which was automatically created in the preceding step. This step generates the SAS results that are requested in the quick-start document.
  3. Recompile the document with pdfLATEX. This step compiles the quick-start document to PDF, this time including the SAS results that were generated in the preceding step. In some cases listing outputs may not be framed properly after this step. If your listing outputs are not framed properly, repeat this step so that LaTeX can remeasure the listing outputs.
