Can anyone assist me with this? My entire team at work experiences this issue with SAS.

 

Whenever typing out a SAS function, the helpful tips pop up to tell you how you can use that function....then they never go away. It's workable for a bit, but once you have 5-10 tips stuck on your screen it's rediculous. You can't see anything. They are always at the front no matter which window you switch to in windows.

Not a full proof answer but a work around. Stop the autocomplete option.

 

Go to Program --> Editor Option --> Autocomplete tab ---> Uncheck Enable autocomplete.

 

 

OR 

 

you can try stopping some of the auto complete as per your choice like uncheck Data step statements. 

 

Explore this option window.

the process flow and reopen it afterwards . But I don't get the message at each function  ...

I remember this being an issue with SAS Enterprise Guide 5.1, but it was fixed.  If you're still experiencing it in a later version, I'd open a track with SAS Technical Support with the details.  It would be good to know if you're using EG natively on your desktop or via a terminal server like Citrix.
