Hi everyone,

Since this morning, whenever I open a program (File - Open program) in Base SAS, there is a non-negligible chance that the program will execute automatically.

 

 It is not always the same program either.  

 

Anyone ever had t his issue?

It's driving me nuts.

 

cheers

Go to Tools>Options>Preferences. Look on the General tab for "Submit contents of file opened". If there is a check in that box then remove it.

 

How it may have gotten set is a question.

 

If that isn't the case then I'm not sure what's going on. I've never had that happen since using SAS 6.04.

I think @ballardw is on the right track.  And there is a little-known Submit checkbox on the File->Open window.  I suspect yours might be checked on for some reason.  It's a "sticky" option -- once checked, it stays checked until you uncheck it.

Fun fact: you can drive all of this from code.

 

dm 'dlgopen filter="*.sas" nosubmit';

Hi!
It was indeed checked (along with the boxballardw). I'm not sure which "unchecking" fixed it (or was it your program line) but I did everything and it's fixed now.
