Problem Note 1145: DATAFORM entry may be cleared when data form is on Tab Layout object
The DATAFORM entry may be cleared and make your Data Form object appear
empty when a data form is placed on the Tab Layout object within a
SAS/AF FRAME entry. In version 7 of the SAS System, this occurs anytime
a data form is placed on a tab and the DATAFORM entry is saved (such as
when you leave the frame). In version 8, this occurs if a data form is
placed on a tab and that tab is not the active tab when the DATAFORM
entry is saved.
To circumvent the problem, remove any references to DATAFORM entries
in the object attributes for Data Form objects within tabs. Create
a separate frame and create the data form and its DATAFORM entry there.
Then programmatically associate the DATAFORM entry with the data form
that is displayed on the tab using the _setEntry method such as:
INIT:
dcl object formid;
_frame_._getWidget('form',formid);
formid._setEntry('libref.catalog.dfentry.dataform');
return;
