Hello SAS Community
Although programming in Base for many years, I am (perhaps surprisingly) a recent convert to Enterprise Guide. Am currently using v7.12 HF7 (7.100.2.3491) (64-bit)
I like the flow diagram of a project, knowing that this reduces the need for much documentation explaining the flow of any project. I am a documentation fanatic!
I use formats extensively for memory resident lookups In my translation code. I hardly ever use them for reporting as that is not where I’m at currently.
As a habit, I always look to create an informat of the same name as the format that I have just created, with a view that if I want to go one way, I may want to reverse that translation using the same route
I don’t see anyway of specifying an informat in the format create box, nor do I see anyway of creating said informat from the menu bar. Yes I could do this in custom code, but it seems that a small option (create informat) dialog box is missing.
Any suggestions? I could be missing the obvious (hope) – done that plenty of times.
