Hi all

 

i have a list of questions with a number of various answers in a SAS dataset and i am creating a stored procedure where i need to list the questions with their respective drop down list for the user to select an answer. 

 

The data looks as follows:

Q_ID       Question      Drop down selection

1              Question1      Selection1

1              Question1      Selection2

1              Question1      Selection3

2              Question2      Selection1

2              Question2      Selection2

2              Question2      Selection3

3              Question3      Selection1

3              Question3      Selection2

 

 

I would like the questions to be dynamic in that if a value on the table is changed, it would reflect on the stored proc. I would not want to hard code 100 odd questions each time a value changes.

Where do the questions and drop-down lists appear? In a browser in an HTML form?

You can use datasets as source for drop-down-lists, the datasets have to be registered in the metadata. This is documented in the Stored Processes: Developer’s Guide
