In our organization we don't have SAS/GRAPH insalled, so we always see the errors in the log file while generation a AG Project (see explanation below from SAS)
"Enables you to suppress the GOPTIONS statement that is automatically added to the SAS code that SAS Enterprise Guide generates. You might want to select this option if you do not have SAS/GRAPH installed on your SAS server. If you do not have SAS/GRAPH installed on your SAS server, then the GOPTIONS statement generates an error in the log file."
Everytime I re-open a project or select an new project de "supress" selection is turned off. How can I make sure that the selections keeps supressed (as shown in the attached picture)?
Which version of EG is used? Are other options properly saved?
The version we use is EG 5.1.
Only after restarting my computer the choosen options disappear (also other options).
That is an ancient version 😉
And EG runs on your local computer, not on Citrix or something alike?
Contacting Tech-Support or your local sas-admins seems to be a good idea.
Thanks,
My computer runs on Citrix. I was wondering if this could cause the problem indeed because the settings only disappear after restaring the computer.
That (your Citrix configuration) is almost certainly the issue then. Your EG options are stored in this xml file (in your appdata user location):
%appdata%\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\7.1\EGOptions.xml
(ex. C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SAS\EnterpriseGuide\7.1\EGOptions.xml)
It sounds like your Citrix environment is not preserving updates to that file between sessions, thus changes to your EG options are lost.
