*! savasas Version 2.1 dan.blanchette@duke.edu  12Mar2009
*! Center of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Duke University's Fuqua School of Business
** - made savasas able to be run by saswrapper
** - added some date formats, and made it so that any date format will be kept at least as
**    mmddyy10. format in SAS
** savasas Version 2.0 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  03Jul2008
** research computing, unc-ch
** - created check to make sure user is not trying to create a SAS datafile named with
**    more than 32 characters in the name.
** - created a check to make sure SAS ran without errors.  If not, then messy option is turned on.
** - fixed the string comparison that generated the the "too many literals" error message 
**    when saving long value labels as user-defined SAS formats
** - fixed all long string comparisons 
** - fixed it so savas does not accidently find an error message in the savasas log
** - added dataset label saying savasas created dataset on date
** - added error message that -savasas- cannot be run in Stata batch in Windows
** - made it so that variable labels can contain macro var references etc.
** - no longer dealing with sortedby vars since SAS and Stata sort orders are different
**    depending on missing values and DESCENDING sorts
** savasas Version 1.4 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  29May2007
** - fixed ability to save special missing values with value label as SAS formats
** - now label values of negative numbers are also saved as SAS formats
** - fixed dataset filenames when using the sascode option  
** savasas Version 1.3 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  08Aug2006
** - fixed it so that vars with non-existent value labels don't throw things off.
** - fixed situation where value labels with invalid SAS format names were not
**    haiving the rename format assigned to all variables.
** - added ability to tell savasas where the SAS executable is, but for non-windows os's only.
** savasas Version 1.2 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  05Aug2005
** - updated to allow for up to 32 character format value names now possible with SAS 9
**    and maintain Stata 9 value labels up to 32,000 characters to SAS 9 as well.
** - totally changed how value label names are checked
** - now using -labvalclone- by Nick Cox included at bottom of file
** - no longer using -uselabel-
** - now only trimming off trailing blanks for string variables (no longer trimming leading blanks)
** savasas Version 1.1 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  04Nov2004
** - added ability to save data when directory path provided but no SAS file name provided
** - now allows for SAS file to be saved in a directory using universal filenaming convention e.g."\\\MyServer\sys1\projects\sasf.sas7bdat"
** - fixed check option so that it only checks the vars and obs specified in the "if and in" if one or both were specified
** savasas Version 1.1 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  10Sep2004
** - SAS 9 doesn't support .sd7 as a file extension so -savasas- no longer does for any version of SAS
** savasas Version 1.1 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  13Jul2004
** savasas Version 1.1 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  15Nov2003
** - fixed "keep if in" to select subset of observations
**  and sortedby varnames when longer than 8 characters
** savasas Version 1.0 dan_blanchette@unc.edu  27Oct2003
