Making Prompts Conditional in EG 8

Ar558 — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 13:17:05 GMT

I am looking to make prompts appear conditionally based on the values of other prompts in SAS Enterprise Guide 8? Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how you do it?

As far as I know that cannot be done. You might be able to do it if you were willing to write a custom task using I believe C#. @ChrisHemedinger might have a more authoritative answer.

When you say conditional prompts, I wonder if you want to create a cascading prompt? A cascading prompt is a dynamic prompt which subsets the values it displays based on the value of a previously answered prompt.

For example: Selecting a car automaker ► then selecting car models.

If so, cascading prompts can only be created in a SAS stored process
