Hi,

 

I have a complicated process flow in a SAS EG project (SEE IMAGE BELOW).   What I want to be able to do is to run one of the programs at then end of the process tree that would automatically run all the previous workflows without running any program in another  node.  For example, I would like to run the APPENDIX_PLOTS program and PREPARE_DATA without running TABLES or APPENDIX_ TABLES.  This is because APPENDIX_TABLES needs the CTEREP_STU dataset which is created by PREPARE_DATA.  However, I don't need to run TABLES or APPENDIX_TABLES again for awhile and both programs take a long time to run. 

 

I know I could individually select PREPARE_DATA and APPENDIX_PLOTS and then click run. However, I was wondering if there is a way to select an end node and then automatically run all the programs that the end node depends on.

 

I also know I could click PREPARE_DATA and click "run branch".  However, this will also run TABLES and APPENDIX_TABLES, which again I do not want to rerun. 

 

Thanks for any help on this topic.

 

Thank you so much.

 

Sincerely,

 

Bill
