Details
Properties and Descriptions
The following properties
apply to SAS automation objects:
Busy
indicates whether SAS
is idle or working (for example, running a procedure, DATA step, and
so on). This property is Read-Only.
CommandWindow
sets the window (based
on the window title) to receive commands that you specify using the
Command method. The name that you specify must match the spelling
of the window name exactly (though this property is not case sensitive).
When the name is set, the window receives subsequent commands that
you specify with the Command method until CommandWindow is changed
or set to Null (by specifying ""). If the name is Null,
which is the default, the currently active window receives the command.
This property is Read-Write.
CommandWindowVisible
controls whether the
window specified by the CommandWindow property is visible. If the
property is set to False, the window
that is specified by the CommandWindow property is set to invisible.
If the CommandWindow property is Null, this property has no effect.
This property is Read-Write.
ConfirmExit
controls the behavior
when SAS exits. A value of 0 means
that no confirmation box is displayed before SAS exits. A value of 1 means
that a confirmation box is displayed before SAS exits. A value of 2 selects
the default action, which is controlled by an alternative method that
defines how SAS exits (for example, the Preferences dialog
box).
Height
sets the height, in
pixels, of the SAS application window. This property is Read-Write.
Parent
sets the name of the
parent window that contains the SAS application window. If you change
this value to another window, the SAS application window resizes to
fit in the new frame. This property is Read-Write.
RC
returns the return
code passed by a user function. You can set this property from within
the SAS session by using the SETRC function. This property is Read-Only
from the automation controller.
ResultString
returns a string passed by a user function. You can set this property from within
the SAS session
by using the SETRC function. This property is Read-Only from the automation controller.
Title
sets the main SAS window
title. This property is Read-Write.
Visible
controls whether SAS
is visible. This property is Read-Write.
Width

coordinate, in pixels, for the top left corner of the SAS application
window. This property is Read-Write.
