Launch SAS project (EGP) and RUN specific ProcessFlow with VBS

deleted_user — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:36:37 GMT

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "SEGuide.exe K:\RUN\Process\TRY.egp"""

Hello world 😉

I create a macro to launch a specfic project with SE Guide.

But ...

I would like to RUN a specific process flow (name = DATA) of the project (TRY.egp).

Is it possible to specify in the script vbs that the process flow named "DATA" has to be opened and RUN (F3) ?

If not, is there any way to do it otherwise ?

Thanks in advance.

Check the SAS support http://support.sas.com/ website - much info and reference resources to be found there. Also, check the SAS forums archive as well.

Thanks !

I found something which could be interesting but ... I 'm quite noob in VBS.

The original code I found in the support.sas in the following (see here attached under).

I just need a "quite simpler script" which will launch SE Guide and run the processflow.

Is somebody able to help me with this ? :s

Thanks
