SAS registry files store information about the SAS session.
The SAS registry is the central storage area for configuration data
for SAS. The following list identifies some of the data that is stored
in the registry:
-
the libraries and file shortcuts
that SAS assigns at start–up. These shortcuts could include
secure information, such as your password.
-
the printers that are defined for
use and their print setup.
-
configuration data for various
SAS products.
The Sasuser registry
file (called regstry.sas7bitm) contains your user defaults. These
registry entries can be customized by using the SAS Registry Editor
or by using PROC REGISTRY. For more information, see “The SAS
Registry” in
SAS Language Reference: Concepts.
CAUTION:
For experienced
users only.
Registry customization
is generally performed by experienced SAS users and system administrators.
