I created a simple push button, and wanted to test, when I click the button dataset test is created. The name of button is button1. After I created a button and added scl code, I did compilation ant then run the code. No errors or warnings. But dataset test not created.

 

My scl code is:

 

init:                                                                                                                                   
return;  
button1: submit continue; data test; x=1; run; endsubmit; return;

How did you run the AF program? You need to run it using the AF command, otherwise SUBMIT blocks won't work.

Can you please explain, which way can I run AF command?

My steps:
1. I created push button and named it as button1
2. save the button by the same name
3. open scl of button and wrote the code
4. save it
5. compile button , and then click run command

 

 

Let's assume that my frame I created within library "Test" and Catalog="Development".

But as I read, because I added scl code, I can't simple run it, I can do it by two ways :

1. in the command prompt I write : AF Test.Development.Button1.FRAME 

2. using proc display

There are any other ways to run the scl code?

 

proc display catalog=Test.Development.Button1.FRAME ;
run;

 

I have one more problem with proc display:

When I run with proc display and I click the button, I have to close frame to get the result. Why?

I would stick with using the AF command for running the program. I don't have access to SAS/AF to test anything for you and I'm relying on my 20 year old knowledge of AF Smiley Wink

Unless that's just you "playing around" implementing new things using SAS/AF is eventually not that future proof but will create technical debt.
