SAS Batch Submit With In Textpad

[adventcavalier]

Is it possible to set up textpad to execute a batch submit while still using the program. I prefer textpad as an editor, but all the toggling back and forth to submit programs is killing me.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "execute a batch submit", but you have the external tools where you can specify a batchfile or another program with several parameters from textpad. Maybe this could be used? If you explain in more details what you want to achieve i guess it's easier to help if you have some questions about the external tools.

As gan stated, you can create Tools in TextPad. Tools can call batch files, or executables, etc.

Check the Help section on Tools. "How to Customize the Tools Menu".

thanks for your help!

i figured out that by assigning sas as a tool and specifying the run command i am able to batch submit with hot key.
