Thank you very much !

I knew I could compile a SCL model automatically with compile='Y' parameter in _setSource method. But I didn't know that you can do it not only from the FRAME you use in your application but from any SCL source which creates a proper environment for the model (e.g. proper table). I couldn't use compile='Y' in the FRAME because sometimes users don't have write access to codes' folder.

So I've decided to use a solution suggested by Richard A. DeVenezia. To include compiling SCL models in my compile mechanism I do:

- create an entry compiling SCL models (e.g. _compile_models.scl): init: declare sashelp.classes.sasdataset_c data = _new_ sashelp.classes.sasdataset_c();

/* prepare a proper env for a model: e.g. data.table = 'sashelp.class'; */ data._setSource('myLibrary.myCatalog.myModel.scl', 'Y'); data._term();

/* and so on for other models in this SAS catalog */ return;

- put a command running above entry in a source compiling all entries in SAS catalog:

/* include macros needed for compilation */ filename m CATALOG 'myLibrary.myCatalog._compile_macros.source'; %include m; filename m;

/* compiling 'ordinary' entries */ proc build catalog = myLibrary.myCatalog batch; compile et=frame; compile select = ( SCLs (but not SCL models) ) ; quit;

/* compiling models */ dm 'afa c=myLibrary.myCatalog._compile_models.scl';

In my SAS 8.2 application I have an old FRAME with a SAS 6.12 Data Table Viewer with a SCL model attached to it. I compile the model with above mechanism and it works well.
