SAS Studio macro variable for currently executing node

[mtejada]

Hello,

I wonder if there is a macro variable that holds the name of a currently executing node in SAS Studio.

Thanks,

Mario

Use

%put _all_;

to show all currently defined macro variables.

Kurt,

Thanks for the quick response. I have tried adding 

%put _all_;

inside the program node but unfortunately the resulting macro variable list does not seem to include the actual name of the node (which is part of a process flow). I am not sure if there are papers about this. What I'm really after is for my program to determine the node name that it is executing in. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Mario

I had hoped that Studio does something similar to what Enterprise Guide does. EG creates a macro variable _CLIENTTASKLABEL that identfies the currently executing node in the project.

This might be a good Software Ballot Idea.

A macro variable like _CLIENTTASKLABEL would be nice to have in SAS Studio.

Thanks for the feedback.  We are planning to generate very similar wrapper code (including the macro variables) in SAS Studio and EG in future releases.
