SAS MA popup window

aromanyukha — Tue, 15 May 2018 06:46:06 GMT

Hi, I need 2 things from SASMA (user defined node for CI linked to stored process).

1) Handle and raise errors with user messaging regarding SAS and Oracle errors. I read documentation but will be thankfull for good approach (native and stable way to raise error with messaging)

2) Popup interactive example to show custom popup in CI (2 types yes/no and OK buttons) and read user action in sas code (stored process)

Regards.

You can raise errors in a process node by setting the "maerror" macro variable to a number > 0 (preferably above 10,000) and you can provide a message via the "mamsg" variable.

There is no capability to provide interactive dialog boxes in SAS code like that - and especially not in something that can be scheduled to run in batch.

From quite a technical description of what the author was looking for without an actual use case, it's unclear whether the standard functionality of configurable parameters (promts) of a stored process Process Node fulfills what they need to achieve, or not. It's kind of pops up (when the user double-clicks at the process node), and the response is being processed in SAS code (when the node or campaign is executing),
