The V6GUIMODE option specifies whether SAS uses SAS 6
style SCL selection list windows such as the selection list windows displayed
with the following SAS Component Language functions: CATLIST, DATALISTC, DATALISTN,
DIRLIST, FILELIST, LIBLIST, LISTC, LISTN, SHOWLIST, and VARLIST. This specification
also applies to the POPMENU function when the list of items displays in a
scrollable list box. The V6GUIMODE option also displays the SAS 6 directory
window for the BUILD and FSLETTER procedures instead of using the SAS Explorer
window.
If you specify the V6GUIMODE option when you invoke SAS, then your SAS
session might hang if you invoke a fullscreen procedure such as FSEDIT, FSVIEW,
or BUILD with a PROC statement and also issue the VAR command from within
the fullscreen window. You might also see this problem if you invoke a SAS/AF
application with the DM statement. This condition does not occur if you invoke
the fullscreen window with a command or SCL routine.
