Hi Steve,

SAS A/F is one avenue, there is an alternative
for popup messages and/or building a form to ask
for several fields which you can then act upon.

There are datastep and macro versions of
WINDOW and DISPLAY, %WINDOW and %DISPLAY.

Check our archives, here are few samples:

Hope this is helpful.

Subject: Simple user input window example?

SAS-L:

Let's say I have two datasets ONE and TWO.  Both contain a variable
named ENV with multiple levels like NORTH SOUTH EAST and WEST (and NW,
SW, etc).  How can I use SAS/AF to create a simple user input window
that would have two drop-down selection lists, one for each dataset,
that would just show all the unique levels of ENV and allow the user to
select one from each dataset.  Those selections would then be passed on
to the rest of the code.

Seems like this wouldn't be difficult, but I don't know AF at all and I
can't seem to find a good example to hack from.  Can anybody send me a
quick example that might work?

Thanks.

Steve
