topic Detecting Macro Variables as Prompt Variables in SAS Enterprise Guide https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Detecting-Macro-Variables-as-Prompt-Variables/m-p/191660#M14642 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am giving a presentation the local DC SAS User's Group (weather permitting) on using EG to create stored processes. However the presentation is one written by someone else and was based on a prior release and it seems that in 6.1 the option to add prompts by looking for macro variables is always greyed out. Is there a setting that is needed to enable that? The source code that was included for the stored process includes macro variable references. And then when I added the prompt manually, the generated/saved stored process code did not include the comments about the prompt - and, yes, the option to generate the text for macro variables was checked. The strange part is that when I look at the code on the file system, those comments are not there. But when I look at the source (by selecting modify the stored process) in EG, the comments are there.</P><P></P><P>Hopefully I am doing something wrong or missing something simple.</P><P></P><P>TIA,</P><P>Don H</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 03 Mar 2014 05:49:18 GMT DonH 2014-03-03T05:49:18Z Detecting Macro Variables as Prompt Variables https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Detecting-Macro-Variables-as-Prompt-Variables/m-p/191660#M14642 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am giving a presentation the local DC SAS User's Group (weather permitting) on using EG to create stored processes.
