Syntax

PROC PMENU <CATALOG=<libref.>catalog>
<DESC 'entry-description'>;

Note: This is a simplified version of the PMENU procedure syntax. For the complete syntax and its explanation, see the PMENU procedure in Base SAS Procedures Guide. [cautionend]

CATALOG=<libref.>catalog: specifies the catalog in which you want to store PMENU entries. If you omit libref, the PMENU entries are stored in a catalog in the SASUSER library. If you omit CATALOG=, the entries are stored in the SASUSER.PROFILE catalog.
DESC 'entry-description': provides a description of the PMENU catalog entries created in the step.

Details

The PMENU procedure defines menus that can be used in DATA step windows, macro windows, SAS/AF and SAS/FSP windows, or in any SAS application that enables you to specify menus.

Under OpenVMS, the following statements or statement options are ignored:

SEPARATOR statement
HELP= option in the DIALOG statement
ACCELERATE= and MNEMONIC= options in the ITEM statement
ATTR= and COLOR= options in the TEXT statement. The colors and attributes for text and input fields are controlled by the CPARMS colors. For details, see Customizing Colors under OpenVMS.

The GRAY option makes any unavailable menu items look different (usually bold) from those that are available. On some displays, this visual distinction is not supported; on these displays, all menu items appear the same.
