Doing More with SAS/ASSIST Software |
The method of returning to a SAS/ASSIST window from the Output window varies by operating environment.
|
Mainframe operating environments |
In
mainframe operating environments, SAS procedures that
generate output are suspended after the first page of output appears in the Output window. This situation is indicated by a note in the
message area stating that "PROC procedure-name has created
1 page(s) of output so far" or "PROC procedure-name
suspended." Before you can perform any more tasks in SAS/ASSIST software,
the running procedure must be completed. Use one of the following methods
to complete the running procedure:
- Use the END command or function key to end the
procedure.
- Use the DOWN command or function key to scroll
down through subsequent windows until the procedure is complete.
After the procedure is complete, use one of the following
methods to return to the SAS/ASSIST task window:

Note: If you return to SAS/ASSIST before all procedures
have finished running and you try to execute another SAS/ASSIST task, a message
appears which indicates that a procedure is still in progress. Select End Procedure to terminate the running procedure.
