A "Continue" prompt is automatically added to the Properties window when you run a SAS® Stored Process


In SAS® 9.4M9 (TS1M9), when you execute a SAS Stored Process directly from a URL, the &continue parameter might be appended to the URL. As a result, an unexpected Continue prompt might be displayed before theSAS Stored Process runs.

This behavior occurs only when the user is not already authenticated and must first be redirected to the SAS Logon page.

This issue is a regression introduced in SAS 9.4M9.

Workaround

To work around this issue, add a hidden Continue parameter to the affected SAS Stored Process metadata.

  1. Launch SAS® Management Console and navigate from the Files tab to the location of the SAS Stored Process.
  2. Right-click the SAS Stored Process and select Properties.
  3. Click the Parameters tab and add a parameter named Continue.
  4. Select the Hide at run time check box. 
  5. Save the changes.
