Reading multiple selections for a parameter

deleted_user — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 20:25:07 GMT

Using the parameter manager, I can create a parameter that allows for multiple selection. If &var is the variable that's attached to the parameter, and the user selected both "A" and "B", then
&var = "A", "B"

But, if I were to create a parameter under storec process that allows for multiple selection, then &var would only resolve to "A".

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug?

I am using SAS 9.1 and EG 9.1.

Hi:
Look at pages 12-14 of this paper:
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2008/024-2008.pdf

for an example of multiple-selections with a stored process. That paper was written using SAS 9.1 and the BI Platform. The EG parameter manager was NOT used to define the stored process parameters -- this stored process was defined and registered directly in the metadata using SAS Management Console.

Thanks for answering my question Cynthia. Is there anyway of creating a backup of a stored process?

In the SAS-Management-Console you can export a Stored Process. This step creates a SAS Package file (name ends with spk) containg code and underlying external objects stored in WebDAV.
