Looping eGuide Branches made of Tasks

[eugeniothierry]

Hi,

I need to optimize and simplify an egp, final users have v7.1. 

They asked me to avoid code nodes and keep the project built with simple task blocks, having self-maintenance in mind.

I have two identical branches that run over different periods of time. They need two input prompts each.

For now I isolated those branches in different process flows.

I want users to be able to modify both at the same time if needed.

I wonder if there is a way to loop a sequence of tasks or a process flow.

Thank you!

Eugenio

There are always moments where the helpers and wizards run out of steam, and this is one of them.

You cannot loop a node in a process flow back to another node in the same flow. And a node can only be present in one process flow. Using it in another process flow means making a separate copy in that flow that no longer is tied to the original.

To run code repeatedly in one execution, you need to use macro language or other means like CALL EXECUTE, and that means code nodes.

To reuse code, you have to store it in a .sas file and %INCLUDE that wherever needed.
