Use the WAUTOSAVE command
if you want SAS to automatically save your work more often or less
often than the default interval of every 10 minutes. SAS saves the
Program Editor contents to 'pgm.asv' in the current working folder
or in the folder specified by the AUTOSAVELOC system option. Contents
of the Enhanced Editor windows are saved to the operating environment
temporary folder with the filename of 'Autosave of
filename.$AS'. You can also set the autosave
feature in the
Preferences dialog box
Edit page.
