Enterprise Guide: Order of Execution

[davehalltwp]

I have seen this question asked and answered many different times in many different places.  But in all my years I've never known a programmer who seems in practice to really know.

So, is there a simple way to control the order of execution of the objects in a batch EGP?  It seems the execute by default in the order they were added.  So there is an order.  I just don't know how...

The order of execution is defined by the order in the process-flow, not by the order in the process tree. To ensure proper execution order, connecting the programs is recommended.

Thank you. I understand that. But I don’t know how to do it.

I went to <file> and <new>, and set up an ordered list.  It seems to work...

although, actually, as soon as one program has an error, it stops executing.

Well, i would call stopping execution when an error occurs the expected and wanted behaviour.

You right-click on a program and choose "connect to" - the exact name of the menu entry could depend on the version of SAS EG you are using.
