-SASINITIALFOLDER newfolder

-
newfolder
-
specifies the path to the current working
folder and the default folders for the Open and Save As dialog boxes. If newfolder contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation
marks.
SAS determines the locations for AUTOEXEC
or INITSTMT files before the SASINITIALFOLDER system option is processed.
To ensure that SAS can determine the location of these files, place them in
a folder other than the folder that is specified by the SASINITIALFOLDER system
option.
If you do not specify the SASINITIALFOLDER system option,
SAS determines the current folder by default. SAS uses the Sasuser folder
as the default folder for the Open and Save As dialog boxes.
The current working folder is set according to information in
Determining the Current Folder When SAS Starts.
