How to activate a pmenu?

Amali6 — Sun, 17 May 2020 23:16:38 GMT

Hello advisors,

I have created my pmenu inside the library, when i tried to activate in the command line using the following command, the menu didnt appear.

setpmenu hotel.mycatalog.myproject.pmenu;pmenu on

I can see the small image of pmenu created inside my library hotel in the folder name mycatlog.

Any suggestions how to activate the pmenu please?

Thanks

Are you using Enterprise Guide? Or SAS/AF? To what window are you applying the menu?

Have you read this paper? https://www.lexjansen.com/nesug/nesug92/NESUG92062.pdf

PMENUs can be applied to only certain kinds windows that are raised, and may require licensing for some.

Product: BASE SAS
- WINDOW (raised with DISPLAY statement)
- %WINDOW (raised with %DISPLAY statement)
Product SAS/FSP
- A window displayed in FSEDIT, FSVIEW, FSLETTER, etc... See more
Product SAS/AF
- AF / AFA command, PROC DISPLAY

Can you edit your question and add the PMENU source code ?

Do you have a screen shot ?

There won't be an immediate 'popup'. The menu bar at the top of the window should change to the items in the PMENU definition. If the items are appearing, are you saying that selecting one of them does not drop down or activate a programmed command ?

Sorry I can't help you further. I haven't used pmenus for many years and I am stuck with EG now, so can't test.

You could try with a simple menu see if that works and then add to it.
