SAS EG: results tab is gone

hein68 — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 14:21:15 GMT

Hello. I'm using SAS Enterprise Guide. Now, in one of my projects, my Results tab is gone. I think I did this somehow, as the results tab was there earlier this morning.

I can see the Code tab and the Log tab, but the Results tab isn't to the right of the Log tab like it normally is.

Please help!

Thanks!

It's me again. I noticed that SAS EG thinks I have unbalanced quotation marks (although I checked and I don't think there are any unbalanced quotation marks).

What do I do?

That typically means 1) Save the code/ project, 2) shut down SAS, 3) restart SAS, 4) reload the project/code. Then start looking at your quotes.

It may not hurt to use tools to search for the quotes. Make sure that what you think are matching quotes are both single or double quotes.If you pasted text with embedded quotes in the middle that might cause this.

You might see a "quote" that has somehow, such as copy code from a word processor document, used a curly or smart quote instead of the simple ' and " of programming. If you do not have blocks of text inside quotes that exceed 200+ characters by intent then the unbalanced quote is very likely the case.

Thanks for your reply!

I did end up figuring it out. I had a macro and there were some title statements with quotes in them. I ran the code without the macro. I also ran the code that helps with unbalanced quotation marks, even though I didn’t find any.

Between those two actions, I got the code to work.
