Overview of Saving and Using Task Window Selections

Saving your task window selections enables you to run the same task multiple times. Rather than choosing the same selections each time you need them, you can make selections for the task once and then save the selections. Then, when you need to run the task again, you can access the saved task selections and simply re-execute them. The task is already set up for you, and it uses the latest data.

Note that SAS/ASSIST software always "remembers" the selections you used the last time you performed a task. Do not confuse this feature with saving task window selections as described in this chapter. Task window selections are only "remembered" until you perform the task again or manually clear the selections; in contrast, saved task selections are stored permanently, and must be accessed using the methods in this chapter.

This chapter shows you how to save the selections that you have made in a main task window, list your saved tasks and choose a task from the list, and clear the selections from the window to start a new task.
