_eg_conditional_dropds definition when creating stored process

ShenQicheng — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 07:31:06 GMT

Hi,

I use %_eg_conditional_dropds in my program (or custom task) and it worked fine. But when I create stored process from the process flow that contains this program, a [macro not be resolved] error occurred.
This problem can be solved by inserting the macro definition, but is there any way that can make enterprise guide to include the definition for me automaticlly when creating stored process, just like some built-in tasks do?

One might think that would work automatically.

Nevertheless, you could store the macro definition in your configuration directory: SASApp\SASEnvironmet\SASMacro\.

Your stored process server should have configured to automatically use macro definitions stored here.

Thanks, LinusH.

Yes, your suggestion might be one solution.

I just wonder why EG treates built-in task differently from other stuffs(progarams, custom tasks).
