how to assign SAS codes to a keystroke or toolbar shortcut?

Hello,

Each time before I run SAS codes I would like to clear the work library using following codes:

proc datasets lib=work kill nolist memtype=data;

quit;

I don't want to type these codes each time, so I try to assign these codes to a keystroke or a toolbar shortcut. I googled and followed instructions (such as this one: VCU TS - Creating Keyboard and Toolbar Shortcuts in SAS) ;however it does not seem to work.

Did anyone know how to assign these codes to a keystroke or a toolbar shortcut? Thanks.

Check out the following SAS Global Forum papers, they will illustrate how to do that

Thank you very much. It works now.

For those who are interested, the trick is to use gsubmit. In my case, I entered following to the keystroke.

gsubmit " proc datasets lib=work kill nolist memtype=data;quit; "
