EGuide - programs changing order automatically

JB1974 — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 16:30:03 GMT

So looking to see if anyone else has experienced this and if so, do you have any suggestions for a fix..

i have an project file (EGP) saved on my local computer that has a list of programs that are saved on our SAS Server, so they appear as shortcuts within the EGP file. Everything worked great until a recent update. After the update, if I open any of the programs to make an edit, the program automatically moves to the bottom of the list under programs, and it changes the order the programs run when looking at the process flow (F4).

The JPEG shows what I am talking about. On the left is the EGP when opened, with the process flow displayed. Notice, Lib_Names is at the top in both the program list and the process flow. When I double click on Lib_Names to make edits, it drops to the bottom of the listed programs and drops to the bottom in the process flow.

Anyone else experience this and know a way to get this to STOP happening.

What is the exact version of EG (in Help->About dialog) you are using? This looks like an issue that was introduced briefly and fixed in a subsequent update.

I tried unsuccessfully to reproduce the issue you described using EG 7.11 HF5. (The issue I was thinking of was different.) Installing the latest 7.11 hot fix (U23005) or upgrading to latest version (currently 7.13 HF5) might resolve your issue.
