This is a very introductory level question that I am sure EG handles in a simple way, but how can I %include an embedded program in my workflow?
Example: Workflow has 2 programs, Program1.SAS and Program2.SAS
Within Program1.SAS I want to %include "Program.SAS"; So basically while Program1 is running tell SAS to take a break, run Program2, then come back and finish Program1.

Use a code node? That is not different as to coding in Base.
Would be better to build a flow between the nodes that flow is controlling (embedding) the programs.
The idea is let it have those smaller pieces and than run them with all dependicies.
Thank you for your response. Is the idea with dependencies though to have one program run before the other? How about calling a program from within a program? I could use the %include statement but then it makes me reference the file on the disk. I was hoping for a way to quickly call embedded programs.
You can use both of them. If you have your to be embedded program somewhere on the OS you can define a link to that as code in the flow.
In a code node you can include the file (%include) using the full physical name or you can define a filename ,and then user %include filerf(imbedsource) ;
Too many options is making a choice difficult.
An yes tos flow is running one program behind the other. You can define prompts to those and doing a split on conditions for a branche in some value
