Cannot open program with *.sas suffix in EG project

RobertWF2 — Mon, 15 May 2023 13:16:14 GMT

I'm running a SAS Enterprise Guide project written by another programmer & noticed there are several programs in the project with the *.sas suffix.

I'm unable to open one of the programs when I double-click on it - SAS EG cannot locate it despite the program being in the line up in the Project tool bar.

Is there an alternative method to open the program?

If the program (.sas file) is an external file that is used in the project, then right-click on the program icon in the process flow and select 'Properties', then look at the file path for the program. This is the location of the file when the project was created, but if you are not able to access the file location then Eguide won't be able to open the program. Can you access the .sas file from your PC? If so, you will need to click the 'Change' button and browse to the location of the program. Or, the creator of the project can embed the program file into the project so anyone who uses the project can access the program.
