Testing Applications

SAS/AF software provides a testing mode that is available from within the build environment. To test your frame, make it the active window, and then select Buildthen selectTest.
To test your application outside the build environment (that is, without having the frame open), open a SAS Explorer window, right-click on the frame, and select Run. If the frame has not been previously compiled, you will receive an error. You can compile the frame from the SAS Explorer window by right-clicking on the frame, and then selecting Compile.
The only limitation of the Buildthen selectTest menu command is that it does not process SUBMIT statements in SCL code. If you attempt to test a frame that has a SUBMIT block using Buildthen selectTest, the SUBMIT block will fail at run time. Frame applications that are tested outside the build environment (from the SAS Explorer window) perform with complete functionality.
