Hi

I am using SAS EG4.1 and wanted to know if there is a way I can create a template that stores text/standard code in it ?

I then wanted to use the template by a shortcut key.

Detail: I would like to include standard program header into a new SAS program eveytime I create one. At the click of the shortcut key/template, the header should be pasted

as a block of text on a new program.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Venkata Darbha

You can use an Editor abbreviation for this.  Read more about it here:

In EG 4.1 it's a little different though.  Select Code->Add Abbreviation to get started.

What kind of output are you creating?

I had a template that used the posthtml tags to write a fixed footnote on every web report I created.  I sure that you should be able to do the same for a title with prehtml.
