What Is Your Working Directory? |
The working directory is the operating system directory to which many SAS commands and actions apply. By default, SAS uses the current directory as the working directory when you begin your SAS session.
Changing Your Working Directory |
You can change the working directory during your SAS session. You can use the Change Working Directory dialog box to select a new directory, or you can use the X command, the X statement, the CALL SYSTEM routine, or the %SYSEXEC macro statement to issue the change directory (cd ) command. For information on the X command and statement, the CALL SYSTEM routine, and the %SYSEXEC macro statement, see Executing Operating System Commands from Your SAS Session.
To open the
Change Working Directory dialog box, issue
the DLGCDIR command or select Tools Options
