General Purpose (not set in properties files)

Global Macro Variable	Values * default value	Comments
_cstGRoot	Example: C:\cstGlobalLibrary	This variable is required. It defines the location of _cstGlobalLibrary. It is set with the autocall macro %cstutil_setcstgroot, which is called in most framework macros. It is used most often in SASReferences paths to enable relative path mobility.
studyRootPath	Example: C:\Study1	This variable is optional. It defines the location of study data and metadata. It is often set in user-defined driver programs (for example, validate_data.sas). It is used in SASReferences paths to limit the changes that are required when changing input data sources, which facilitates portability.
studyOutputPath	Example: C:\Study1\output	This variable is optional. It defines the location of generated output. It is often set in user-defined driver programs (for example, validate_data.sas). It is used in SASReferences paths to limit the changes that are required when changing output locations, which facilitates portability.
