Hi Guys,

Is there any shortcut key to create a comment line with all the stars in between, like below?

/****************************/

I feel I need to use add this line of comment very often to separate different portions of sas code,

everytime I have to manually add the stars between /*  */

wondering is there anyway to create a shortcut key to do this for quicker coding?

Thanks a lot!!!!

Yes. But the answer totally depends on what you are using as an editor.

Assign that to macro variable and keep calling 🙂 

%let comment=%str(/)****************************%str(/);
%put &=comment;

Which environment?

Editor abbreviations

KEYS entry with the Display Manager System

Code snippet (though I'm not sure that accessing those is any quicker than typing)
