If it was not successful, the message indicates this and displays
the location of the SETINIT.LOG file. Review the SETINIT.LOG file in
NOTEPAD for errors.
Obtaining a SID file
To obtain a SID file, contact your SAS installation representative. To
determine the SAS installation representative who is responsible for
your site, go to SAS Support Personnel at Your Site.
You will need your SAS site number and company name. This information is displayed at the top of the SAS log window when you first start SAS.
