Syntax

PROC PMENU <CATALOG=<libref.>catalog> <DESC 'entry-description'>;

ITEM command <option(s)>;

ITEM 'menu-item' <option(s)>;

ACCELERATE=name-of-key;

This is a simplified version of the PMENU procedure syntax.

Note: For the complete syntax of the PMENU procedure and its explanation, see the PMENU procedure in SAS Procedures Guide. [cautionend]

ACCELERATE=name-of-key

defines a key sequence that can be used instead of selecting an item. When you press the key sequence, it has the same effect as selecting the item from the menu bar or pull-down menu.

Under OS/2, the ACCELERATE= option in the ITEM statement is accepted only for the following key combinations:

Ctrl+C (Copy)
Ctrl+V (Paste)
Ctrl+Z (Undo)
Ctrl+X (Cut).

Details

The PMENU procedure defines pull-down menus that can be used in DATA step windows, macro windows, SAS/AF and SAS/FSP windows, or in any SAS application that enables you to specify customized menus.

If you want your program to be portable between OS/2 and Windows, you can use the following alternate key combinations:

Ctrl+Insert
Shift+Insert
Alt+Backspace
Shift+Delete.

If you use these alternate key combinations in your SAS program, the Edit pull-down menu shows the standard key combination; however, you can use either the standard or alternate key combination to activate the menu item.
