Hello! How do you "run" the piece of code? Per flow or have you opened it and hit the "running man button" ? ... and the answer to your question would be no ... I haven't experienced any issues like that. Cheers   edit: In the latter case (the running man button) please verfy  that you do not have any code selected. Only that piece of code would be run otherwise ... as Kurt has already suggested above. ... View more

You could either change the program producing it (and rerun it) ... or as @JOL has indicated copy the dataset. Idea behind EG's behaviour is to visually indicate the data that were produced ... hence changing it via properties does not make sense. --FJa ... View more

Hello!   You should find an output table called work.final with two rows containing the results 'X1' and 'X2' ... This is what I get running jebjur's code in SAS on demand. ... and that is correct searching the sample tables for CODE='CD2', is it not?   And being with it: What is wrong with the solution ballardw has cited? ... besides that it uses iml which might be intimidating for a new user.   Cheers fja ...

Thank you two for your kind remarks! @AhmedAl_Attar : Thank you very much for the pointer. I am familiar with that feature and with version control systems ... nevertheless I was not aware, that such a nice introductory paper exists.   @SASKiwi : Currently the git integration in EG (we use 8.2) is limited to internal SAS programs. While a standalone version of git can be used to compare arbritary files (even unversioned ones) with  git diff a.txt b.txt the internal version of EG does not seem to be capable of that. This is what I am aiming at.  Neither is - TMBK - that git implementation accessible as an standalone programm, so you cannot configure it as a file diff programm to be used via the options.  Knowing the limitations in practice where you cannot freely choose the software being implemented I suggested to implement the leverage of the _internal_ git diff for this in my first posting.   Again thank you very much for your suggestions. fja ...

Hello!   Thank you very much for your reply. I am happy to elaborate   I am talking about a the difference in text files, of sas programs to be more precise. An example of the usage would be that you have come up with two different versions/approaches to tackle a problem codewise ... and now want the differences between these two pieces of code being highlighted. ... much like you would do it in a versioning context.   Now SAS EG has such a functionality integrated - you select two 'program tasks' and find 'diff' in the context menu - but this relies on external programs to do the diff for you. Now I wonder if one could not leverage the existing versioning mechanism to show the difference between the two text files/programs selected. Dedicated programs for file diffing come up with very nifty presentations of the results, but this would not be necessary in the first place IMHO. A simple mechanism to show the differnences (like in versioning tools like git/svn/cvs) would suffice.   Cheers fja ... View more

Hello CkSasEG! Sorry for asking again, I do not have a clear picture yet: So it is sure that you have run the %let statement without any errors or warnings in the log? Does the variable show up in the macro manager?   if not please try the same (for a quick fix) using the %global statement. %global foo; %let foo=bar; Cheers Fja ... View more
