Hi,
I'm using SAS University Edition to study. As guided in support.sas.com , I copied then run this code
data _null_; window start #9 @26 'WELCOME TO THE SAS SYSTEM' color=black #12 @19 'THIS PROGRAM CREATES' #12 @40 'TWO SAS DATA SETS' #14 @26 'AND USES THREE PROCEDURES' #18 @27 'Press ENTER to continue'; display start; stop; run;
then it comes up with this error message: "ERROR: The DATA STEP windowing environment cannot be initialized due to a XU supervisor failure". So, is it not available in SAS University Edition which was installed in virtual machine ?
%WINDOW is a legacy technology only available with a Foundation / Base SAS install on a PC. I believe there is an alternative way in SAS Studio / UE to enter options into your programs using HTML forms. I'll try to locate an example.

User interfaces can be built in custom tasks. I'm assuming these will work in SAS UE. Has anyone tried it?

Many thanks with appreciation 🙂 I will learn to use task instead of %window to build UI
There is a series of posts on here, called 'Tuesday Tasks' that demonstrate examples of custom tasks.
