Please provide a function "export all code in ordered list".   I found the functions "export all code in process flow" and "export all code in project". But there is no "export all code in ordered list".   For development I use the Enterprise Guide 8.2. To organize the project I make many small code pieces (e.g. import_data.sas, aggreate_data,sas, export_2_excel.sas). To run them in a controlled sequence I use ordered lists. At the end I want to have all source codes (*.sas files) combined into one "single.sas" file.   I tried to use process flows, but this feature doesn't allow to have a code piece (e.g. initialize_libnames) to be part of many process flows and it is very clumsy to organize the sequence of the code pieces. ...

The scrollbars showing within any pane (mainly within the program, but it happens whenever there is a vertical or horizontal scrollbar) are barely wide enough to grab with a normal mouse arrow. Need wider scrollbars please. Have attached screen for your convenience.   Plus if scrollbars are changed at some point please try not to copy MS Outlook where the scrollbars are invisible until you mouse to an area where they are supposed to be and then they appear when needed.  Please keep wider scrollbars visible at all times.   Thanks!       ...

Why choose just the first one? As a new SAS EG user I was failing to even realise there where additional process flows in a project because the view focus/pane was defaulting to Open Items rather than Project...... Even then, why not open all?  ... View more

I'm a newer user to SAS EG 8.3 and find viewing the program a little hard on the eyes.  It's very bright.  It would be nice to have the option to change the background color of the Project window.  I have already changed the background color in the Process Flow window.  More colors would be nice to have as well.  Thank you. ...

We have recently been upgraded at our site to the latest EG performance patch 5. Before this, all of the libraries were visible on the list after expanding SASAPP. This has now been replaced with a limit of 500, and a 'browse' option.    Many of our users have found this inconvenient, as we have over 1000 libraries, and especially since 'work' is not in the first 500.    There are workarounds, and I know about adding the option to the config files, but this is not an ideal solution as we do not have the right admin access to make the changes ourselves. It would be nice if this was an option within EG's preferences.   Thanks, Haydn ... View more

I'd like to suggest the addition of a particular variable selection method for Regression called “NONNEGATIVE GARROTE” method (Breiman, 1995)[1]. It is similar to LASSO and RIDGE REGRESSION, but slightly different. NONNEGATIVE GARROTE method performs variable selection based on the contraints b_i > 0 for all i.   Please see the following reading material for NONNEGATIVE GARROTE: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1269730?seq=1 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-25832-9_9   [1] Breiman, Leo. “Better Subset Regression Using the Nonnegative Garrote.” Technometrics, vol. 37, no. 4, 1995, pp. 373–384. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/1269730. Accessed 30 Nov. 2020.   It would be invaluable to have this method as an available variable selection option in PROC LOGISTIC, PROC REG, or PROC DMREG. ...

Similar to a Python IDE, create an option in the SAS Enterprise guide settings to require saving of either a new piece of code or a modified .sas file that has been opened.   I know this should be basic computer hygiene, but I see enough users not saving code when they run a process, that this option would be a nice backstop. ...

(with EG 8.2's Enhanced Editor, Integrated Syntax Help feature)    The Integrated Syntax Help feature allows mousing-over the keywords to get information on keywords.  If one, for example, mouses-over "MACRO" the program will produce mouse-over text with helpful info and links for "MACRO".  Adding this feature would add a new link to this box.  The new link would behave like the first link in the box.  Where the first link initiates a Google search in the default web browser with:   site:support.sas.com "%MACRO STATEMENT" The new link sends this to Google search:   site:documentation.sas.com "%MACRO STATEMENT" The new feature could add the new link like so: (orange arrow)     ...

Our customer is building an analytical model consisting of variables over 1000. The data used is time series type, so they are trying data manipulation in "Prepare Time Series Data" in Enterprise Guide. We have come up with an idea where they could change the same transformation command towards some variables at one time, where currently they should operate the transformation process for each variable selected through a selection tab one by one. We feel it's a bit time consuming. ... View more

We have recently had problems of people taking copies of projects to to testing and not realising that the changes that they make in the programs are applied to the original project because whilst the action is to take a "copy" of the project, the programs are not copies but links to the originals. This is unclear. If we can automatically enforce that programs are embedded then taking a copy of a project is a real copy, not a link.  ... View more

Create an "FIFO stack" of log references "in" each node.  When a new log listing for a node is created because the node's operation ran, "push" the new log on the stack and "pop" the oldest one off and discard it.  Create a way to view prior logs saved in the "stack".  Keep three logs by default, allow for more or less by providing a setting to control stack array length.   You never need to see an old log result, until you do  When you do, you just ran something and discarded the log result you wanted to review. ...

In EG 7.x, when a project was run, the results were automatically displayed.  In EG 8.x, this feature was turned off.  SAS Technical Support indicated this was design feature to improve performance.  Although, this would be nice to be able to be controlled by the preferences.  Many of our users kick off their projects to run and are not necessarily monitoring it or have the 'Submission Status' displayed, so there isn't any visual indication that the project actually ran.  In the past, they used the displayed results as this indication.   The idea is to allow the user to set in their preferences whether or not to display the results within a project.  Currently, they don't have this option and they are not happy this functionality was removed in 8.x. ...

The "Submission Status" within SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Studio in SAS 9.4 always puts the most recent entry at the end of the list.  However, if numerous jobs have been run, there may be scrolling needed to view the last entry.     The suggestion is to either have the list in date descending order even better, have list sort-able by any of the fields. ...
