Changing the Location of Online Help for Java and ActiveX

Online help is available for the ActiveX control and the Java applets. The online help explains the use of the interactive features that are available for each control or applet. To display the online help, position your cursor over the graph, press the right mouse button to open the pop-up menu, and select Help.

By default, the pop-up menus access help files on the SAS Website. If your audience does not have Internet access or if you want to customize the help files for your specific needs, you may want to change the location that is accessed by the Help selection. For the ActiveX control and the Graph, Map, and Contour applets, you can download the help files to a local machine and use the HELPLOCATION parameter to point to these local files. For the Constellation and Treeview applets, there is currently no way to change the help location.

You can copy the help files for the ActiveX Control from the SAS Client-Side Components CD Volume 1. The help files for the Java applets are on the SAS Mid-Tier Components CD. You can download and modify these files as needed for your audience. Save the files in a location that is accessible to your audience. Then, in your SAS program, specify the applet parameter HELPLOCATION to point to the location of the help. For example:

 ods html file="ncpop.htm"      parameters=("HELPLOCATION"="http://www.b.com/help/"); 

For more information on specifying applet parameters, see Specifying Applet Parameters Using the ODS PARAMETERS= Statement on page 477.
