Hi all,

 

How do I save my bookmarks (CTRL+F2 line markers) within the program so that they appear each time a program file is opened? Using SAS 9.4 (TS1M5)

If you are referring to the Enhanced Editor window I don't believe you are going to find that possible.

You might try adding a unique string that you know serves that purpose and could do search (and reset the mark as doing so). A comment string like /*#####*/ for instance.

 

Since the files that the program editor saves are pure text (regardless of the extension) the information stored in the file cannot be something like a list of line numbers that one specific program knows how to use. The information would have to be stored in something like a windows registry which would then fail if the file name was changed, or the file was moved, using any program except the SAS editor.

SAS programs, when saved as such, are pure text. No information is added in the text, so helper items like the enhanced editor bookmarks can not be included. You can set marks on your own in comments, which can be found with the search function of the editor.
