Doing More with SAS/ASSIST Software

Using the Command Line in SAS/ASSIST Software

If you have a toolbox or toolbar as shown in the following display, you can enter commands in the command window at the left end of the toolbar. To repeat a command, select the down arrow and select the command from the list of recently-executed commands that appears. Select the check mark or press ENTER to execute the command.

SAS System Toolbar
If you do not have a toolbox or toolbar, follow this selection path:

Tools Options Turn command line on

The menu bar for that window is replaced with a Command ===> prompt.

Note: Menu bars are the default for SAS/ASSIST software. If you use the PMENUS OFF command to turn the menu bars off for all SAS windows, a message appears which indicates that you cannot disable the pull-down menus while using SAS/ASSIST software. [cautionend]

To return to the menu bar, type COMMAND at the Command ===> prompt and press ENTER.
