Details

The active window is redefined and displayed in the area specified by WDEF. The WDEF routine performs the same function as the WDEF command. See the SAS online Help for more information about the WDEF command.

For windows that are not of type STANDARD, you must call WDEF before the window is displayed.

WDEF is frequently used to define a smaller size for a window that will be displayed along with a legend window.

Example

Use WDEF to resize the current window to occupy the bottom half of the window before calling another program. The other program is sized to display in the top half of the window. Then, return the window back to its original size.

call wdef(13,1,12,80);
call wregion(1,1,11,80);
call display('tophalf.program');
call wdef(1,1,24,80);
