topic Cancel Operation on CTRL-F Find in SAS Enterprise Guide https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Cancel-Operation-on-CTRL-F-Find/m-p/34169#M4364 Seems like a simple function, but I can't seem to cancel or stop a Find (ctrl-F) on a table in the EG. It's not a large table (350k obs) and I'm searching in one column. However after 30 minutes of waiting I need to get on with my day. I can't kill the EG process as a WORK table of 89 million obvservations would need to recreated taking several hours.<BR /> <BR /> It's a tough lesson to learn, but if there is no interupt or cancel I will NEVER use CTRL-F again!
