In Enterprise Guide, you define user prompts, assign them to project nodes, and use the results as macro variables within the nodes.

The next best thing for SAS Studio might be this: https://sassoftware.github.io/sas-studio-tasks/prompts/

(found as first result of a Google search for "sas user prompts in sas studio". See Maxim 6)

@Kurt_Bremser I have tried using Prompts in SAS EG however it is not resolving my problem. I am looking for a function which takes user inputs step by step within a sas program.

You cannot initiate prompts from within SAS code when using SAS Studio or EG. That is only possible when you use the native Display Manager interface.

@Kurt_Bremser is there any way to create a dialouge box within the sas code?

Not if you use SAS Studio or Enterprise Guide.
