PreCode - let VFP handle things like import data from Excel via Execscript Code - the SAS code that will run on the Unix box Log - SAS writes the results of the job back to a log area Results - if results are returned to the screen they are also captured here PostCode - after the code o Unix has processed additional local work may be need via ExecscriptIn theory this works very well. However, it could be improved if I could add or integrate the same type or similar functionality included in VFP's MODI COMM editor. The most irratating thing is that if I am down 20 lines click out of the memo field then back in, the cursor moves to the top.
