By default, Enterprise Guide stores output data in the SASUSER library
on the SAS server.  Enterprise Guide now supports the EGTASK library as
an alternative default output location. If the EGTASK library is
defined, then Enterprise Guide will send output data to EGTASK instead
of to SASUSER. Perform the following steps to direct the EGTASK library
to the SAS WORK data library so that the output files are cleaned up
automatically.


To define the EGTASK library from within Enterprise Guide Administrator:

   1. Select File New and select Library from the New window. The
      Library - Server window opens.

   2. Select a server on which users run tasks. If more than one
      server is used to run tasks, then you must go through the library
      definition process separately for each server that needs to have
      EGTASK available. Click Next to open the Library - General window.

   3. Type EGTASK in the Name field, and select the Assign at Server
      Startup check box. This value ensures that EGTASK is created and
      available every time the server is started. Click Next to open the
      Library - Details window.

   4. Select DEFAULT in the Engine field. In the Path field, type (work)
      including the parenthesis. Click Next to open the Library - Create
      window.

   5. Click Test to confirm the library definition. Click Finish to
      create the definition.

As an alternative, you can define the EGTASK library by having the
SAS server execute the following code:

Libname EGTASK "%sysfunc(Pathname(WORK))";

The code can be submitted to the SAS server from a code node within
Enterprise Guide.  It can also be executed at server startup time by
adding the code to the "SAS server startup statements" box which is
located under the Options tab of the SAS server properties window in
Enterprise Guide Administrator.
