When I copy and paste a program node in an EG Process Flow the new node is placed willy-nilly in the Process Flow window.  In a "busy" Process Flow, this often makes it difficult to find the new node.  I should be able to place it at the point of the cursor, that is, I should get to decide where it goes rather than some silly willy-nilly automatic placement.   Similarly, when I choose to run all or a section of the code in a Program node AND do not want it to replace/override the current log attached to the Program Node, the new node should be placed near the current node rather than in some silly willy-nilly place in the Process Flow window. ...

I would like to suggest adding the ability to customize the fields that are output for Proc Contents. Often times I'm using Proc Contents Data = Libname._All_ NODS to get a list of tables that potentially need to be cleaned up. While the default fields are helpful it's just not enough info. For example, I would like to know if the table is compressed so I know if the size of the table can be reduced and I want to know who the owner is so I know who I need to contact if tables are identified as delete or archive candidates. I tried creating a table of the Proc Contents output but the owner is not included in the list of fields which is super frustrating. Often times the list of tables when not using the NODS option is so long I can't open it in EG which can make tracking down the owner info frustrating. So, in particular, I would like the owner field added to the output when creating a table (Out = option). However, if we could customize the NODS fields or if the owner and compress fields were added to the existing fields that are output when using the NODS option that would be awesome!  ... View more

Not so much a new idea as a request to fix an issue, which has been a problem for as long as I can remember.   From time to time I will receive a fault raised by one of the SAS users in our organisation, saying that when they are using Enterprise Guide and they try to import a file, or search for text, or do something else involving a dialogue, the dialogue doesn't appear on their screen. This will generally be a laptop user who sometimes uses a docking station to connect to multiple monitors and at other times the laptop's internal monitor only. The issue is that the dialogue is present, but is being displayed on a (currently) non-existent monitor. It's usually fairly easily resolved by using ALT-Space, M and then using the cursor keys to move the dialogue back onto a visible screen. However, it can be disconcerting for people at the least (and sometimes it can be difficult to find exactly where the dialogue has got to).   So, is there any way that the application could be changed to bring any dialogues up on the same monitor as the main Enterprise Guide window?   Thanks.   ...

From SAS Code, there should be a command button (kindly see attached) that when you highlight a specific text, you can automatically convert the selected text into comment. No need for SAS programmers to put in "/*..*/" for multiple line comments or "*/" for single line comment. This will speed up their work. ... View more

If I highlight a value in a sas report results tab, the entire results section is selected instead of the value I highlighted.

Often I'm working on multiple projects at a time and right now the only way I've found I can do that with Studio is to have a single studio tab open in Chrome, and then a single studio tab open in Firefox.    Trying to open more than one studio session within the same browser results in what appears to be both browser tabs pointing to the same SAS workspace?  This is great if you close the original browser or tab and simply want to reconnect to your old session, but it gets confusing and lead to issues when you're trying to have multiple tabs to work on completely separate tasks.    What if I want the new Studio tab to open to a clean new session?  Perhaps prompt the user upon launching Studio, to confirm if they want to reconnect to an existing session, or start a new session?   With this, the other thing that would be useful for be the ability to change the HTML <TITLE> of the tab so you can identify which browser tab is which session. ...

If i want to download a file from my SAS Studio work folder, the path is often something long and complicated such as:   /opt/sas/work/SAS_work87A100007977_sas.example.com/SAS_workF31700007977_sas.example.com/example.csv   A path like this is difficult to locate among other work folders... a method to jump to a path in the file browser would help (we could at least copy/paste the path that way.  Or a method to jump to the work folder in the file browser would also be welcome. ...

The LIBNAME statement when given two or more locations as its library specifications has a default behavior generally described as the library specification becomes a "search path" for individual members in the concatenated library.  A LIBNAME that instead choose, when it is necessary, the youngest member of the libraries by their modified dates as its primary target file.    (from 9.2 documentation) Rules for Library Concatenation (For this new feature) After you create a library concatenation, you can specify the libref in any context that accepts a simple (non-concatenated) libref. These rules determine how SAS files (that is, members of SAS libraries) are located among the concatenated libraries: When a SAS file is opened for input or update, the concatenated libraries are searched and the first the youngest occurrence of the specified file, by modified date, is used. (same) When you delete or rename a SAS file, only the first the youngest occurrence of the file is affected. Anytime a list of SAS files is displayed, only one occurrence of a filename is shown. Note:   Even if the name occurs multiple times in the concatenation, only the first occurrence is shown. Information pertaining to the youngest occurrence is displayed if queried.    5 - 8. (same)   However this would be implemented; by an option to the default v9 engine or perhaps as an separate, alternate engine by itself. ... View more

Our customer have to use 80 port through authorized proxy with out side of Web servers, based on their security policy. Unfortunately, current SAS EG can not access .egp files in SAS folders, because currently SAS EG do not apply authorized proxy system. For accessing .egp files in SAS folders need 80 port communication.   It is very difficult to change the security policy because of many duties... so, we need to use authorized proxy for commuting with SAS server over the WAN network.   As an example, the system allow to access that with describing SEGuide.exe.config as below <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <configSections> ... </configSections> <system.net> <defaultProxy> <proxy usesystemdefault="true" id="username" password="<BCD225:XXXXXXXX>"/> </defaultProxy> </system.net> </configuration>     ...

There should be a way to tell if the code or structure of a project has changed or if it was only refreshed with data.  That way, we'd know that it can be closed without needing to be saved.   This is especially important when a production copy of a project is opened and run, but not changed.   Some way to summarize the changes to a project would be very helpful.  This is very important for auditing when we need to ensure that the project used for an 'official' run had not been altered from the production version. ...
