sasWare ballot 2006 : item 2 workaround

http://support.sas.com/techsup/feedb...llot.html#Base

DATA Step
2 provide the ability to copy and paste in the DATA step debugger
command line

Paste
There is a paste command in sas that works in this window. Somehow the
Ctrl+V doesn't work, but the text in the clipboard will be delivered to
the debugger-log window command line when the sas paste command is
issued (I use alt+F1, but it could also be stored on a toolbox icon)

Copy
Copying is more difficult, but the workaround is here
>From the debugger-log window, save the following command string on a
function key
file 'x.x' replace;note sprint; inc 'x.x'
When this command string is executed, the debugger-log is stored in an
editable text window, from which you can copy any required text.
You could pick a meaningful file name, but I find x.x easily,
recognisably, delete-able.
You could use a worklibrary notepad entry and/or replace the contents
of the notepad entry when including the text, but I have found the
history of these clips useful, and easy to manage. With this command,
sprint.notepad will be found in sasuser.profile, when needed.
