Autoexec process flow check values with user before running

[mhoward2]

Is it possible to have an autoexec process flow on SAS Enterprise Guide that runs a bit of a code, then ask the user if the output is accurate before continuing?

For example, I have a process flow that uses SAS functions to get dates depening on the day the code is being run. So SAS knows today is 10/31/2023, therefore it automatically creates a variable that assigns a variable like Date_Start_Month = 202310.

The question is, can I somehow hit run autoexec, run the code that assigns Date_Start_Month variable, then have a prompt appear that says "Date_Start_Month = 202310. Is this correct?" and then have an option for the user to either hit "Yes" and it will run the rest of the process flow, OR hit "No" and have them be able to change the Date_Start_Month variable themselves.

Is this possible? Thanks!

I don't think you have this functionality OOTB.

If you want a tailored dialogue I think you need to create a Stored Process application.

You could play around with prompt perhaps, not sure if it will give you the right "feeling" to your use case.
