Java Script and Stored Process prompt on VA

[dstephens22]

Hi:

I wrote a stored process along with SAS code that includes parameters.  It works fine on SAS VA 7.1, but it's not intuitive on what to do when it opens up the page.  Meaning the user has to hover around until the "I" or info window pops up.  

I am trying to write some java script that will add the prompts to the report.  It would appear as a form on the page.  I am looked around quite a bit and cannot seem to get the prompt to work.

Does anyone know of any "simple" code that just calls in one prompt to pass to the stored process?  I can go from there, but at the momeny all i can get to work is a button.

Hope that's not too vague.

Thanks, 

Dave

While not as elegant and not the solution you asked for ... we solved the problem by adding to the title in the Properties tab "TITLE (Click the ? icon to see a list of prompts)".

The users understood what to do.

Thanks for the reply Tricia.  I already did what you're suggesting. The ? doesn't show up unless you hover and click around for it.

If i can get the Java Script piece working, I think this will solve some of my woes with the limitations I have been running into with SAS VA.  It will also allow me to maybe create more than on scenario.  

I even referred to some odd book yesterday: "The 50 Keys to Learning SAS Stored Processes" 

I hope you're doing well.
