Small amounts of data (number of items counted on your fingers) can be stored in macro variables.</P> Thu, 20 Dec 2018 13:58:17 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Is-it-possible-to-store-the-result-of-a-step-inside-this-step/m-p/522866#M32734 Kurt_Bremser 2018-12-20T13:58:17Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Is-it-possible-to-store-the-result-of-a-step-inside-this-step/m-p/522876#M32735 <P>SAS DI Studio has the option of creating Check points to enable long running jobs to restart from the point of failure. The point and click interface of SAS EG saves the Process flows for future use,&nbsp; but I am not aware of any options that enables&nbsp;restarting the process flow from a certain point.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A href="http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etlug/67323/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0ndjsuwax5q0sn1lzkughdejk04.htm" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etlug/67323/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0ndjsuwax5q0sn1lzkughdejk04.htm</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 20 Dec 2018 14:50:38 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Is-it-possible-to-store-the-result-of-a-step-inside-this-step/m-p/522876#M32735 r_behata 2018-12-20T14:50:38Z
