Does anyone know how to use the DDE system topic to suppress the save changes prompt I get when closing excel?
My code is:
%MACRO SAVEAS(FILE);
OPTIONS NOXWAIT NOXSYNC;
*** Open Excel file ***;
x "start excel";
data _null_ ; x = SLEEP(2) ; run ;
filename cmds DDE 'excel|system' ;
data _null_ ;
file cmds ;
string1 = '[FILE-OPEN("'||"&dir.\&&FILE..xls"||'")]';
put string1;
PUT '[ERROR(FALSE)]';
string5 = '[save.as("'||"&dir.\&&FILE..txt"||'",3)]';
put string5;
put '[QUIT()]' ;
RUN;
%MEND SAVEAS;
I'm trying to add a control program to run 6 sets of code but it stops each iteration and waits for me to click "no" before moving on.
Close the file before quitting, specifying save or not save. Not sure how you specify the logical.
I think I've used
put '[close(0)]';
Or it could be:
put '[close(FALSE)]' ;

Thanks Reeza. put '[close(0)]'; worked.
