SAS program editor

VDD — Thu, 05 Jan 2017 18:46:57 GMT

What do I do to make SAS program editor open a new window for each SAS program that I am opening?

Currently every program I open is appended to the end on the current SAS program editor window.

What version of SAS are you running and how are you opening your programs?

What you describe as the desired action is typically the default behavior. It sounds like someone may have been playing around with some default behaviors for file types and messed something up.

Which version of SAS? Is this a server or local install? SAS Studio, Enterprise Guide, Base SAS (or the DMS)?

Do you have a SAS command box on the menu line? It would look like a simple text entry box with a drop down arrow. If so try typing DLGOPEN and then press the enter key. Let us know what happens.

In your case, it's best to contact Tech Support for assistance.

I use the old text editor, if i type this on the old editor clean command line 'editor h' oprns up withe tha sas programe

note h.h;inc c:/utl/cuth.h

I suspect you could write a command macro to open up 26 editors with a command macro

%macro twnty/cmd;

%do i=1 %to 20;

note h&i,.h&i;inc c:\utl\prg&i..sas;

%end;

%mend;

%twnty;

save in your autocall lib or put on a function key?

options cmdmac;

type twnty

on clean command line
