Back when I used Microsoft Access more often, I remember there was a way to create a database with a GUI and lock it down so that I could share it with an end-user and the end-user could not modify it in any way.  It had the added benefit of being able to run without the end-user actually having to install Access. Is there a way to do something similar with a SAS project?  I'm pretty sure the bit about it running without the user having SAS installed isn't possible, but how about the locking down so user cannot edit and possibly providing the user a GUI?

I'm slightly OCD :smileylaugh: so having all of the datasets generated by my SAS program show up in the process flow window is very annoying.  I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to stop that from happening unless I either 1) set the number of datasets allowed to be displayed option to 0 or 2) use libname _all_ clear.  Option 1 still generates a note object anytime I run a program, which is just as annoying and option 2 doesn't really work either as all of my libraries are auto-assigned by a metadata server and I'd rather not have to re-assign as I often have many programs running in one SAS session and often run programs in parallel. Does anyone know of an option to stop this from happening? Thanks! ... View more
