When you run a SAS Stored Process using the SAS Stored Process Web Application, the prompt panel has a fixed height. The panel might also contain a scroll bar if the SAS Stored Process contains a large number of prompts (parameters).

To modify the height of the prompt panel, follow these steps:

1. If you are using SAS^® 9.4, locate the following directory on your application web server:
   
   your-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer1_1/
   sas_webapps/sas.theme.default.war/themes/default/styles

      
If you are using SAS^® 9.3 or SAS^® 9.2, locate the following directory on your JBoss application web server:

JBoss-home-directory/server/SASServer1/deploy_sas/sas.themes.ear

 

2. Within this directory, the following CSS files contain the style setting for the container size:
   • sasComponents_IE_6.css ​​​​
   • sasComponents_IE_7.css
   • sasComponents_FF_1.5.css
   • sasComponents_FF_1.5_RTL.css
   • sasComponents_IE_7_RTL.css
   • sasComponents_IE_6_RTL.css
   
   Each of these files is used by a different web browser. For example, the sasComponents_IE_7.css file is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and later.
   
   You can determine which CSS file your web browser is using by selecting View ► Source in your browser when you view a SAS Stored Process prompt panel. The CSS file is specified near the top of the HTML source file.
    
3. Make backup copies of the CSS files that are listed in the previous step.
4. In the original CSS files, locate the following .promptGroupsContainer style element:
   
   .promptGroupsContainer {
   height:489px;
   overflow:auto;
   position:relative;
   }
    
5. Edit the height in this style element in the CSS file for the web browser that you are using to test the prompt-panel appearance. For example, if you are using Internet Explorer 7 or later, then edit the sasComponents_IE_7.css file.
   
   You can change the height value to a percentage or an arbitrary value in pixels.
   
   For example, you can maximize the height of the prompt panel by changing the style element as follows:
   
   .promptGroupsContainer {
   height:100%!important;
   overflow:auto;
   position:relative;
   }
   
   Note: It is crucial to add !important to the end of the height specification. Otherwise, your change has no effect.

Modifying the height setting affects all SAS Stored Processes that contain prompts when you execute them with the SAS Stored Process Web Application.

After you modify the CSS file, you should not need to restart your web application server. You can do a hard refresh for your web browser to test the change. Press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5 when you view a prompt window to hard-refresh the page.

After you successfully modify the specific CSS file for your web browser, you need to modify the other CSS files (using the same height value) for other web browsers that your users run.
