SAS: Can't paste text into user input prompt (using %WINDOW) -
i wondering if there way allow user paste text user input prompt created using %window statement. example, simple code in sas documentation follows:
/** %window defines prompt **/ %window info #5 @5 'please enter userid:' #5 @26 id 8 attr=underline #7 @5 'please enter password:' #7 @28 pass 8 attr=underline display=no; /** %display invokes prompt **/ %display info; %put userid entered &id; %put password entered &pass;
i have similar 1 of fields asks user put in path folder (like c:\mydocuments\2015\testfolder). path can pretty long , reason cannot paste path name user input field. there sas option allow this?
you auto-populate field clipboard using macro variable generated via previous data step, suppose. if remember syntax correctly:
filename temp clipbrd; data _null_; infile temp; input; call symput('longvar',_infile_); run; filename temp clear;
this require user have copied file path clipboard before running code reads clipboard , opens window.
