Thank you for the offer. I would be very interested in your code example. ... View more

This is a valuable suggestion and we would also like to go down this route for new projects. My question concerns the approximately 1000 existing EG projects, which we would like to make more accessible for Git. Let me illustrate my request better with screenshots (sorry that this is a German version 7.1): In the project settings, I can make EG save the path only relative when a file is saved externally (screenshot 01) If I use “Save as” in a code element, the element is saved externally (very good for Git / screenshot 02) The small arrow symbol shows code that is stored externally and only refers to it (screenshot 03) I am now looking for a script that automates these manual “Save as” steps. In other words, I want to retain the EG's own functionality and not extract the code elements from the EGP. ... View more

Yes, I see the limitations. I even already have a piece of SAS code that can open the EGP/ZIP file and extract the code elements from it. I would prefer to have a SAS option that always saves all code elements externally. Since this does not exist, I thought the second best option is a small script that does this. Once this is done, then code changes are always made in the external files and no post-processing is needed. ... View more

Thank you very much for your support. This is my plan B if the above does not work. I have an almost finished solution with the following resource: https://github.com/cjdinger/sas-eg-automation/blob/master/vbscript/ExtractCodeAndLog.vbs But I want to avoid this way, because changes to the code can only be mapped if the script is reliably executed before each commit. ...

Thank you for this suggestion. I already had that idea too. Unfortunately, I could not find an online source that describes all the classes and functions that are necessary for this. Everything I have found so far refers to EG 4.1, which was a code base that did not yet allow referential storage in projects, for example (only came with EG 4.3). Do you know a description of the scripting library which is up to date (EG 8)? ... View more
