Creating a "Top N" report in SAS Enterprise Guide

This question has come up on this discussion forum a few times. There is a new sample and a custom task to help you accomplish this. See the blog entry with the details at:

Hi Chris@SAS

There were more posts in this tread!
I think it is very disrespectful to just delete other peoples contributions only because one thinks he gave the one and final answers.

The support page you point us to wants us to copy a dll into the „program file“ directory. I know a lot of organisations where a normal user wouldn’t be allowed to write to this directory.

Regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I did not delete any posts. One of the original threads, which you contributed to, is still on the forum here:

Re: installing the custom task --
It's true that some folks cannot copy a DLL to their own Program Files area. In the README file that accompanies the task, there are alternative instructions for how to register the task for use by using the Add-In Manager within Enterprise Guide. With that method, you can copy the DLL to any location on your PC.
