The PMENU Procedure

Example 1: Building a Menu Bar for an FSEDIT Application

Procedure features:

PROC PMENU statement option:

CATALOG=

ITEM statement options:

	MENU=
	SELECTION=
	SUBMENU=

MENU statement

SELECTION statement

SUBMENU statement

This example creates a menu bar that can be used in an FSEDIT application to replace the default menu bar. The selections available on these menus do not enable end users to delete or duplicate observations.

Program

libname proclib 'SAS-data-library';

proc pmenu catalog=proclib.menucat;

   menu project;

      item 'File' menu=f;
      item 'Edit' submenu=editmnu;
      item 'Scroll' menu=s;
      item 'Help' menu=h;

      menu f;
         item 'Goback' selection=g;
         item 'Save';
         selection g 'end';

      submenu editmnu sashelp.core.edit;

      menu s;
         item 'Next Obs' selection=n;
         item 'Prev Obs' selection=p;
         item 'Top';
         item 'Bottom';
         selection n 'forward';
         selection p 'backward';

      menu h;
         item 'Keys';
         item 'About this application' selection=hlp;
         selection hlp 'sethelp user.menucat.staffhlp.help;help';
quit;

Associating a Menu Bar with an FSEDIT Session

The following SETPMENU command associates the customized menu bar with the FSEDIT window.

setpmenu proclib.menucat.project.pmenu;pmenu on

You can also specify the menu bar on the command line in the FSEDIT session or by issuing a CALL EXECCMD command in SAS Component Language (SCL).

See Associating a Menu Bar with an FSEDIT Session for other methods of associating the customized menu bar with the FSEDIT window.
