SAS macro variable inspector: a custom task

[ChrisHemedinger]

I thought this group might appreciate this tool I've built for use in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3:

If you're a programmer who uses macro variables, you might find this custom task useful.  If you have feedback, I'd love to hear from you on the blog.

Hi Chris,

This tools doesn't seem to work in 5.1.

Is this tool incompatible or am I doing something wrong?

Nick, I've tested it in 5.1 and had no problem.  And I know that others here at SAS have used it as well.

Does the task show up in the menu when you put the DLL in %appdata%\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\5.1\Custom ?

If you continue to have problems, open a tech support track.  This particular task won't be supported officially, but if you're having trouble we should get to the bottom of it.  So if you open a track, mention this thread and my name to make sure that I get pulled into the loop, and we'll figure it out.
