Problem Note 44872: SAS® Stored Process "File or directory" prompt does not work with file extension specification
If a SAS® Stored Process File or Directory prompt has a File extenision specification, then the prompt will not work properly. When you browse a directory to select a file, no files will be displayed.
The following approach should illustrate the problem.
- Using SAS® Management Console, create a SAS Stored Process that has a File or directory prompt.
- On the Prompt Type and Values tab, specify:
Prompt type: File or directory
Selection type: Files
File Extensions: txt
- Save the settings.
- Run the SAS Stored Process using the SAS Stored Process Web Application.
- Using the File prompt that was defined above,
drill down and select a folder that contains some *.txt files.
No files will be shown.
This problem occurs in SAS
® 9.2 and in SAS
® 9.3.
