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.

12. Click Browse. Locate C:\EGAddIns and open CSF.dll.
13. Click OK to exit the Add-In Manager.

3. Download the attached .zip file and save it to C:\EGAddIns.
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.
