How do I define a function key to run a SAS language program?

You can define keyboard function keys to perform specific tasks in the workbench by using the following steps:

1. Goto Windows->Preferences->General->Keys
2. In the ‘type filter text’ at the top enter Run SAS and you should see the current binding for running a SAS program (usually Ctrl^R)
3. Go down to the Binding: input line at the bottom and highlight the current entry
4. Now press the function key you would like to define, such as the F5 key. The definition F5 should replace Ctrl^R.
When you enter OK to the form you should be able to run any SAS language program from the currently highlighted tab in the workbench by pressing the F5 key.
