Creating Parameters in Store Process

[Yennie]

Hi All,

I am currently writting my own store process code on SAS9.2 developer. However, I am unsure of how to write the codings for parameters. Say for example, I have a parameter for Fruits which allow users to select between Apples, Orange and Strawberry etc. I understand that I may need to write a macro script etc... however not sure how to go about it.

Hoping someone can help me out!

Cheers.
Yennie

Hi:
These papers were written for SAS 9.1.3, however, the basic concepts are the same.

And this is an EG stored process paper:

Here are a few pages from the documentation that you may find helpful:

The Program Component and The Input Component

The section on the program component shows how to use a parameter named REGIONNAME in your SAS code.
