From: ash007 on 15 Sep 2009 08:35 Hello Sas-Users, I want to know something please. If I execute this pgm PGMA: %include'D:\Documents\scan_pgm1.sas' ; %include'D:\Documents\scan_pgm2.sas' ; When PGMA is executing scan_pgm1.sas, can I modify scan_pgm2.sas ? Will SAS take into consideration the modifications. Thanks. Ash_rmy

SAS will compile and execute up until the RUN; statement. By the way, you can test this yourself, but using a DATA step with the X = SLEEP(60); command, in the first program. Then test it with and without a RUN; statement. You will see how SAS compiles up to the next PROC or DATA step or RUN; statement. So when you code the RUN; either in your SAS window or in the first %INCLUDE, you will see that your second SAS program is not compiled until the first is completed. Scott Barry SBBWorks, Inc.
From: Joe Matise on 15 Sep 2009 10:09 As long as you save the file before the %include statement is executed, yes. It will execute the pgm1 lines in order, then execute the second %include. Not necessarily a good idea, though, you would probably be better off just running the one program and then the other once you were done with it, since you might not save it in time for the updates to take effect. -Joe On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 7:35 AM, ash007 <ramsamyashley(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Sas-Users, > > I want to know something please. > > If I execute this pgm PGMA: > %include'D:\Documents\scan_pgm1.sas' ; > %include'D:\Documents\scan_pgm2.sas' ; > > When PGMA is executing scan_pgm1.sas, can I modify scan_pgm2.sas ? > Will SAS take into consideration the modifications. > > Thanks. > > Ash_rmy >

Ash think also about the -EEFILECHANGEUPDATES in the config file if you are updating in an external editor but i agree with Joe it is not a good idea for two direct following lines like you present it Andre Joe Matise a �crit : > As long as you save the file before the %include statement is executed, > yes.
