3/9/18: Optimized blocking and updated linking algorithm.

Installation Instructions:

1. Create a “C:\Link King” directory

2. Download LinkKingv9pt0.zip (The Link King v9.0 for SAS) and unzip into C:\Link King

3. For 64-bit installations copy “Summon Link King 64” (shortcut) to desktop.

You should be able to launch The Link King by double-clicking the shortcut.

If The Link King was not installed in c:\Link King or the shortcut does not work:

a) modify the properties of the shortcut and/or lk_config_64.cfg (for 64 bit)

or

b) Launch SAS and run the following code in a program editor to launch The Link King:

    libname undup 'C:\link king';
    dm 'Af c=undup.undup_frames_64bit.intro.frame';

After launch, close the explorer/results windows on the left side of the screen and maximize The Link King interface.

4. For 32-bit/Unix installations

a) After completing #2 (above), unpack the SAS transport file undup_frames.cpt:

  libname output 'y:\buzz\delete';  /* change the path to the location where you want to save  undup_frames for the link king  */

  filename input 'y:\buzz\delete\undup_frames.cpt';  /* change the path to where you downloaded undup_frames.cpt */

  proc cimport infile=input lib=output;
  run;

NOTE: you must delete the undup_frames catalog before unpacking the transport file.

b) See if the “Summon Link King 32” shortcut works.

If not, modify the properties of the “Summon Link King 32” shortcut and/or lk_config_32.cfg

or
