The SAS Enterprise Guide macro variable _SASPROGRAMFILE resolves to the full path and filename of the SAS^® program that is currently being run. However, this macro variable is populated only if the program file is stored on the same server that is being used to execute it.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

After the hot fix is applied, _SASPROGRAMFILE resolves to the path of the program file in all of these circumstances:

• The program is stored on same server as the executing server.
• The program is stored on a different server than the executing server.
• The program is stored in the local client file system.

In addition, the hot fix includes two new macro variables: _SASPROGRAMFILEHOST and _CLIENTPROJECTPATHHOST. These macros provide context for the paths in the corresponding macro variables.
