Hi,
I am trying to create some custom abbreviations. For example I created one for the data step as follows
Abbreviation:
Data
Text to insert for abbreviation:
Data ;
Set ;
Run;
Question - When I insert the abbreviation, by default the cursor points at the end of the Run; statement. Is there a way that I can have the cursor point at some other location, may be, at the end of the word data?

In EG, you have Cursor Controls available while you define a keyboard macro; you can use a series of those to put the cursor where you want it after insertion of text.
Hi @erimagoyal,
Yes, you can add navigation commands to the keyboard macro in order to move the cursor where you want.
