Wayne, I, like some of the other responses to your message, do not use LSE, and based on the few looks I've had at it, would recommend almost anything else instead. I also haven't really looked at the Workbench-interface stuff for the Lattice compiler, as it is all brand new with this update. I've been using Lattice from a CLI for so long that it's real hard to break old habits (and I'm not convinced that the iconic approach is really right for development anyway). I'm sure that there is probably something you've missed in the setup, however. I know that you don't need all of your files (including the SAS executables) in your current directory. Guessing here, but do you have LC: assigned to the "c" directory containing the SAS executables? I'm pretty sure the "project" icons used by SASCSETUP all reference LC: for their tools. Also, it might be the case that LC: needs to be in your PATH prior to doing the LoadWB in your startup-sequence. Hope this helps. …BobR White Wolf Productions

Bob, I learned again that the assignment I did from a little iconx script didn't cut it as far as establishing the LC: path – I had to embed it in the startup sequence. As long as I use the lse icon in the LC: directory I'm ok. If I use the icon to invoke lse in any of the SASCSETUP sub directories of LC:, the link will fail with phony messages that indicate teh hrddrv partition that LC: is on needs to be "inserted"! So it looks like I'll just use it from the LC: directory until I find a replacement. What I'm used to is the editors ED, Memacs and the M2E of M2Sprint. wmc

Wayne: I have had many of the problems you describe while trying to invoke the compiler from the Lattice 5.04 version of LSE. If you find the correct manner of setting up the assigns and the associated files so the compile process works, please let me know. Thanks.
