SAS Enterprise Guide includes a graphical user interface for generating code and results for many SAS System procedures. However, because of the complexity involved and the vast number of available procedures, a built-in task for each one is not possible.

To accommodate sites that require functionality not available in built-in tasks, SAS Enterprise Guide offers an interface for incorporating user-built Add-In tasks.

The goal of this sample is to provide the files and steps required for adding an Enterprise Guide Add-In task which can be used to create a Critical Success Factor graph. Note: Microsoft Visual Basic 6 was used to develop this Add-In task.

Create the Add-In task for SAS Enterprise Guide 3.x

Note: These instructions are for release 3.x. The next set of instructions are for release 2.x.

1. Close Enterprise Guide.
2. From your Enterprise Guide client machine, create the path: C:\EGAddIns.
3. Download the attached .zip file and save it to C:\EGAddIns.
4. Extract the .OCX files and .DLL file to C:\EGAddIns.
5. From the Start Menu, select Programs Command Prompt.
6. Type CD.. until you are at C:\
7. Type CD EGAddIns.
8. Register each .OCX file. For example, enter regsvr32  SASFmts.ocx.
9. Register the CSF.dll file. For example, enter regsvr32  CSF.dll
10. Open Enterprise Guide.
11. From the main menu bar, click Add-In Add-In Manager.
12. Click Browse. Locate C:\EGAddIns and open CSF.dll.
13. Click OK to exit the Add-In Manager.
14. From the main menu bar, click Add-In CSF
15. If there is no active data in the project, you will be prompted to select an input data file. After you have selected the data file, the CSF task will appear.
    Note: The data requirements for CSF graphs are very specific. Please refer to the Data Requirements and Sample data sections provided on the Columns tab of the CSF Add-In task.

Create the Add-In task for SAS Enterprise Guide 2.x

Note: These instructions are for release 2.x. The previous instructions are for release 3.x.

4. Extract only the Tabctl32.OCX and CSF.DLL files to C:\EGAddIns.
5. From the Start Menu, select Programs Command Prompt.
6. Type CD.. until you are at C:\
7. Type CD EGAddIns.
8. Register the Tabctl32.OCX file. Enter regsvr32  Tabctl32.ocx.
