- Open other programs in your session to check their code (for example, Program1.sas and Program2.sas).
- Click the More… option to add a column to Program.sas that is not displayed in the shown list.
After you click More…, the Column Selection window is displayed and you can choose all the available columns.
- Select two columns, as shown in the following image:
The columns are added in Program.sas correctly, as shown in the following image:
However, the columns are also added erroneously into all other programs that you have open (such as Program1 and Program2 in the example above).
