When you run a SAS Stored Process using the SAS Information Delivery Portal, an extra prompt (parameter) named saspfs_request_entitykey might be included with the other prompts that are displayed. This behavior might occur when a SAS Stored Process contains a user-defined prompt and you run the SAS Stored Process in a collection portlet or from the SAS Information Delivery Portal Search window.

For example, you might see output that is similar to the following:

You can avoid this problem by using one of the following approaches:

• Define a new text prompt that is called saspfs_request_entitykey for the SAS Stored Process, as shown in the display that follows below. For the parameter options, be sure to select the option Hide at run time. Then, when you run the SAS Stored Process, the saspfs_request_entitykey parameter is not displayed.

  

• Create a URL display portlet, as explained in SAS Sample 32158, "How to Create a ULR Display Portlet that Displays the Output of a SAS^® Stored Process." Then, run the SAS Stored Process using the URL display portlet.
