Shared Cascading Prompts

By Angela Hall on SAS Learning Post October 30, 2009

I was reviewing some functionality capabilities for a project and came across this scenario. We have two prompts that are cascading (one drives the list available in the second) such as city selection to street selection. I could then share the first one, but not the second. Turns out you need to group the prompts together and share the group of them.

Fortunately, SAS posted a 'SAS Presents' paper earlier this year at SAS Global Forum.

On page 15 (example 6) of the paper: http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/sgf09/355-2009.pdf, there are details on how to create a group of prompts.

James, I'd recommend you send your question about the paper to the SAS Authors LanChien Hsueh (LanChien.Hsueh@sas.com) and Diane Hatcher (Diane.Hatcher@sas.com).

IN the paper the first example states it is a sample Java application. There is no mention of the IDE or tool used to create the app, nor how to get to the designed time user interface.
