Highlight corresponding %if-%else-%end in SAS EG?

SAS-Nutzer — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 08:58:09 GMT

I inherited an extensive SAS-program that uses a lot of Macro %if...%else, %do...%end etc. blocks.

Since it is not well formatted, it is very hard to understand what block includes what and which %end or %else belongs to which %if or %do. In most programming languages / IDEs, there is a way to click on an "if" and jump to the corresponding "else" or highlight it. Is this possible in SAS EG with macro code like %if and %else?

I already tried auto-formatting, but with limited success. Is there a way to visually highlight the corresponding %end of a %if / %do, or to click on the beginning %if of a block and jump to the corresponding %end ?

While in the SAS EG it is not possible to have what you want, but code formatting and with little effort your issue should be resolved.
You can format code in the SAS Enterprise guide using CTRL+I (OR Select EDIT in the main menu, then format code from drop down).
