Processes of what?

What is your indata/source/application?

Actually we have 21 sas programs in this program we have to create system flow diagrams

Ok, and what version of SAS do you have, and what products/clients?

In Enterprise Guide, you have the options to analyze your program, and then the option to convert it to a process flow diagram.

Do you want all programs go into one flow?

Or do you look for some kind lineage?

Have you tried the analyze option?

Not sure what your requiremnts are.

All program need one flow

Re: process flow diagrams

Saleem — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 12:06:06 GMT

Please help me how to do that.

I don't have EG at my fingertips.

If your programs are long/complex, I would really discourage you from having them in the same flow.

Is the purpose to document only?

Another option is to merge all your SAS programs in one .sas file, and then analyze that.

I would advise against converting a suite of SAS programs back to process flows if all you are trying to do is run them one after the other. you can easily do this in a controlling program like so:

%include program1.sas;
%include program2.sas;
%include program3.sas;
