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
BuildTest.
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
BuildTest 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
BuildTest, 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.
