SAS provides three items on the
object Selection List to facilitate
OLE:
OLE - Insert Object
inserts an OLE object as a new object of the type associated with a registered
server application, as an object created from an existing file, or as an OLE control.
OLE - Paste Special
pastes an OLE object to the FRAME entry from the Windows
clipboard.
OLE - Read Object
creates an object that references an existing HSERVICE entry in a SAS catalog.
These three items correspond to the three OLE classes in SAS/AF software: INSERT, PASTE, and READOLE.
In addition to using the Selection List to insert objects, you can select and drag
objects from other Windows applications and drop them onto an open FRAME entry (in
BUILD mode, or during run time if the frame or work area object is registered as a
drop site for the SAS_DND_OLEOBJ representation).
