Hello everyone,

Is that possible to close a data step window automatically by sas code?

Thanks

Mike

Try this:

data _null_;

    window test irow=35 icolumn=3 rows=10 columns=60

       #3 "This window will be closed in 10 seconds automaticaly!"

        ;

    display test blank NOINPUT;

    rc=sleep(10);

    stop;

run;

The SLEEP function will also display another window but you can use the NOSLEEPWINDOW option when you start SAS to turn this off.
