I AM CURRENTLY WORKING IN A BUSINESS APPLICATIONS LANGUAGE - SIMPLAN -
AND COULD USE SOME HELP IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THIS LANGUAGE.
THE WORK THAT I AM DOING INVOLVES LINKING FROM SIMPLAN TO SAS THROUGH
SASLINK AND SIMLINK. THEN I AM TAKING DATA FROM MY SIMPLAN DATABASE,
SENDING IT THROUGH TO SAS, RUNNING A FORECASTING ROUTINE, AND SENDING
THE ANSWERS BACK TO SIMPLAN.
I AM ALSO USING USER DEFINED FORTRAN SUBROUTINES THAT ARE COMPILED
WITH A FVC FORTRAN COMPILER, AND LINKING THE SUBROUTINES TO MY SIMPLAN
MODEL. THESE USER SUBROUTINES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LINKNED INTO THE
SIMPLAN LOAD MODULE, AND EXECUTED AUTOMATICALY.
I'M WORKING ON AN IBM WITH VM/CMS.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALMOST ALL OF THE CURRENT SIMPLAN DOCUMENTATION
(ALL OF RELEASE 1.9 AND SOME OF RELEASE 1.10 ) MOST OF THE
DOCUMENTATION RELATES TO OS AND NOT TO CMS, THUS THE COMMANDS
ARE DIFFERENT.
SOME OF THIS STUFF IS NEW HERE, THAT IS I'M THE FIRST ONE TO TRY
TO DO THIS TYPE OF MODEL, THUS I HAVE NO ONE HERE THAT I CAN GO
TO WITH PROBLEMS. SSI IS TRYING TO HELP, BUT SO FAR NO LUCK.
IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THESE AREAS, IT WOULD BE APPREICIATED
IF YOU WOULD LET ME KNOW .
