Hi Greg,

SCL/AF provides full blown GUI and object-oriented-like capabilities.

For BASE SAS only, you have datastep and macro versions of WINDOW and DISPLAY that you can build popup window forms with prompts and fields the user can enter, and you then can programmatically continue the processing based on those values fetched from the user interactively.

A few SAS-L archive examples: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0005D&L=sas-l&P=R1248 http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0507A&L=sas-l&P=R1066 http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0101C&L=sas-l&P=R6075 http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9910C&L=sas-l&P=R15371

Hope this is helpful.

Can SAS be written so a user clicks a button and the SAS code behide the button brings up like a text box so criteria from and user can be place in the text box to generate the right report that the user needs?

if so can someone give me some sample code to see how this is done?
