The Personal Files Directory
The first time you run SAS/IML Studio, a personal files directory called My IML Studio Files is created. By default, the personal files directory corresponds to the Windows directory shown in Table 34.1.
Windows XP |
C:\Documents and Settings\userid\My Documents\My IML Studio Files |
Windows Vista |
C:\Users\userid\Documents\My IML Studio Files |
It is recommended that you store the files you create with SAS/IML Studio in subdirectories of the personal files directory. This provides the following advantages:
Each person who logs on to the computer has a unique personal files directory.
The personal files directory keeps your files separate from files distributed with SAS/IML Studio.
If all your SAS/IML Studio files are in subdirectories of the personal files directory, it is easier for you to back up your files.
When you open a file by selecting File
Open File from the main menu, the dialog box contains a button that lets you navigate directly to the personal files directory.
In the personal files directory, SAS/IML Studio creates the following subdirectories:
- Classes
directory for user-written Java classes
- Data Sets
directory for SAS data sets
- Matrices
directory for IMLPlus matrices stored on the client computer
- Modules
directory for IMLPlus modules
- Programs
directory for IMLPlus programs
