When associating a program to one or several prompts, is it possible to make SAS trigger those prompts only when the program is run in its totality (by right-clicking on it - or on its parent Process Flow - and choosing "Run...")?

This would allow submitting simple lines of code (like %put &someVar;) from within the program (with F3 or Run Selection) without being bothered by the prompts (which don't impact the results of this type of operation).

I don't think this is possible (at least until V4.2) - The only course of action is to remove prompts from individual program whilst you are running your tests and put them back on again afterwards.

it's not possible, but you can set a default value for the prompt and just click ok on the prompt then in your code assign the value 

%let someVar = someValue;

to the parameter(s) as desired, if different from the default value in the prompt.
