Problem Note 8335: Scrolling the wheel of an Intelli Mouse while the END command is issued
crashes SAS
Scrolling the wheel of an Intelli Mouse while the END command is
issued from the toolbar crashes SAS. This does not happen when the
end command is issued from the command line or when there is no screen
interaction in the AF frame.
This behaviour has been encountred in this certain sequence:
1) Create a frame with a pushbutton control, no code is executed when
the button is pressed.
2) Copy the following code in the scl
term:
submit continue;
data _null_;
do i=1 to 10000;
put i=;
do j=1 to 10000
end;
end;
run;
endsubmit;
return;
3) Save the frame and 'run'
4) You have to click on the button at least once.
5) Issue the 'end' command from the command box in the toolbar.
6) While processing is going on scroll the wheel on your Intelli mouse
A possible workaround for this would be to issue the end command from
the command line or to add a command push button (v6) to execute the
end command.
