Entering Commands

You can enter commands within SAS software by using one of three methods:

selecting from menus
using function keys
typing the commands at the Command ===> prompt or in the ToolBox command window.

SAS OnlineTutor lessons use menus for all examples where you enter commands. To complete practices, make sure that menus are turned on in your SAS windows.

Typing commands at the Command ===> prompt or in the ToolBox command window is not discussed in SAS OnlineTutor. Contact the SAS Support Consultant at your site for further information about using commands with SAS software.

Turning On Menus

If your SAS windows do not display menus, type pmenu on at the Command ===> prompt or in the ToolBox command window. Then press ENTER. Menus are turned on in all SAS windows.
