(1) Create a job flow, (2) copy-paste program sheets and (3) run them-> writing SAS Code

[carles]

Hello Guys !, 

I am quite new to SAS, and I am having a general question that I am interested in:

This question englobes 3 small questions: 

Those are: 

1. How to create a job flow using SAS Code
2. How to copy paste programs sheets (from a main file) and changing their name for another using SAS Code.
3. How to run these programs just created using SAS Code.

Besides the potential question to the purpose of it, I am gonna ilustrate what I have and what I want:

Is it possible to do so ?

I have not been able to supply my SAS file example for it, but it would only have something written the Main program, which is:

%let products = A B ;
%let years = 2014 2015;
for year in years:
	for type in products:

		(1) create flux with name product{i}years{year}
		(2) copypaste the programs Code1, Code2 with name as shown in example 
		(3) run Code1-YYYYP, Code2-YYYYP

I don't either want someone to make me the loops, since I can do that. I only want to know the code for inside the loop. 

Thank you in advanced for your time and consideration,

Reading the post, I don't really see the purpose.

If this EG (look like from the screen shot), this would defeat the purpose of the tool. 

EG is not an application builder for end user applications. You are using the UI itself to build flows, typically ad-hoc programs.

To answer your question, I can't see this could happen using SAS code.

EG UI is a .net application, that in turn can submit SAS code to a SAS server. SAS code itself doesn't execute in EG.

Theoretically you could use .net to build plug-in to to this, but I can't really see the benefit...
