You can use Ultraedit (I do not know wether it is Free though), Text Pad

SL

By the way what wrong with Enhanced editor ?? If do not like some thing in
that then some body might suggest something else that better features

You can do SAS programming with any text editor. So, how do you define "good"? And does it truly have to be freeware, or does inexpensive work for you? I use Textpad (not freeware). UltraEdit was mentioned by someone else and it is also a nice editor, and also not freeware. There are a lot of open source editors that may work for you, but again how do you define good?

i've tried several program editors a couple years ago and finally
decided to use emacs on both windows and unix. very powerful. now i
got spoiled by emacs and don't know how to write program without it.

Agreed that emacs is one of the best editor out there. It has many
interesting functions with macros built in to assist programmers in many
different area.

Another (not freeware) option is Zeus:

http://www.zeusedit.com

It does SAS code folding and syntax highlighting.

It also has a lot of IDE features like project/workspace management,
class browsing, macro scripting, integrated version control etc.

1. bizarre Program Editor window behavior 

After a submit and recall, my program editor doesn't display the full
text of my code.  Only a few lines at the top, the rest of the window
is blank.  Scrolling up or down works but on the the few lines a the
top.

Ctrl-home will 'reset' the display.

Zoom on, off, etc doesn't fix it but can get more lines to show.

I typically submit my source code in full using a mapped function key
with these commands:
log; clear; output; clear; wpgm; submit; wpgm; recall; output
I have the 'use enhanced editor' option clicked off.

anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions for a fix?

I just reinstalled xp/pro and a newer verison of SAS on my computer
due to a hard disk failure.  I didn't have this problem with the older
version of SAS. (about 2 years old)

Win XP/pro, sp2,
SAS for Windows 9.1.3 Service Pack 4.

3. dm commands unwanted program editor 

Hi,

I am using dm'vt work.xyz' continue; to open a table after it has been
created for viewing.  However I also get a blank program editor opening at
the same time. I use enhanced editor - is there anyway to disable the dm
command opening the program editor.

Also, is there a dm command that closes a table?

cheers

5. Old Program Editor in V9.1.3 sp2 

Re: Old Program Editor in V9.1.3 sp2

Hi,

I am running the old Program Editor in V9.1.3 sp2 under
Win2k Pro (and regretting it :-).

When I do ordinary Windozy stuff like select-copy-paste
by, say, dragging the mouse-pointer to select, alt-c
to copy, alt-v to paste, all of which worked fine with
V8 PE, I often have a problem. The selected text evidently
gets "Marked", and when I do a paste, I get unpredictable
results: sometimes it fails to paste, other times it
pastes -and- deletes the "Marked" text.

Anyone else running PE with 9.1.3? Seen this problem?
Know of a workaround or fix?

Is it possible to set some obscure option in V9 PE to
totally disable "Mark"??

  Thanks,
  Peetie

7. program editor refresher (Solaris) 

It has been since v6 that I have used the program editor, as opposed to
the enhanced editor.  Can someone point me to the instructions for it?
For instance, highlighting seems not to be an option, which means
selective interactive submission is impossible.  Yet, it may be possible
to select lines and submit only them, but all I remember is dd, d, cc, c,
etc...

Thanks,

Kevin
