Installing, loading and unloading SAS packages with the SAS Packages Framework (SPF) and the SASPAC archive - the packages fileref rules, %installPackage / %loadPackage / %helpPackage / %unloadPackage, version pinning. Use when installing a package such as sasjscore, or debugging an install that reports rc=20006 or a missing package zip.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# SAS Packages (SPF) <!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT --> A **SAS package** is a single zip holding a group of SAS programs (macros, functions, data steps) plus automatically generated description, load, unload and help files. The **SAS Packages Framework** (SPF, by Bartosz Jablonski) installs and loads them from a folder of zips, so a package can be pinned, versioned and swapped without touching `SASAUTOS` or a macro catalogue. This skill covers using the framework as a consumer. It is not SASjs-specific - SPF is an independent project, and the packages it serves come from any author. ## When to use - Installing a package into a SAS session, e.g. `sasjscore` (the SASPAC packaging of @sasjs/core) - Debugging `%installPackage` / `%helpPackage` / `%loadPackage` failures - Setting up a packages folder, or working out which path to point the `packages` fileref at - Loading macros for one job without adding them to a shared server's `SASAUTOS` Don't use for: authoring or publishing a package (`%generatePackage`), or for @sasjs/core's own macro coding standards - see the `sasjs-core` skill for those. ## Enabling the framework …

How to install
mdr add sasjs/skills/sas-packages@sha256:ca227bcd4ecbb0f5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.6f49a2b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
