DLGOPEN <FILTERS='filters' <IMPORT> <SUBMIT|NOSUBMIT> <VERIFY>>

FILTERS='filters'

specifies one or more file filters to use as search criteria when displaying files. For example, the following command displays all files in the current directory that have a .sas extension and adds *.txt to the File type box in the dialog box:

   DLGOPEN FILTERS="*.sas *.txt"

You can specify multiple filters; they all appear in the box. If you do not specify any filters, the dialog box displays a default list. See the description of the SAS.pattern resource in Miscellaneous Resources in UNIX Environments for information about specifying a default file pattern.

IMPORT

invokes the Import Image dialog box, which enables you to import graphic files to SAS/GRAPH applications.

SUBMIT|NOSUBMIT

specifies whether the SUBMIT command is pushed after the file is opened.

VERIFY

checks whether the DLGOPEN command is appropriate for the active window.

Details

The Open and Import Image dialog boxes enable you to select a file to read into the active window. If the active window is a SAS/GRAPH window, then the Import Image dialog box is displayed; otherwise, the Open dialog box is displayed. To access these dialog boxes from the menu, select File Open or File Import Image.
