Usage Note 4115: How to retrieve the contents of the Program Editor and the Enhanced
Editor if SAS ends unexpectedly
In the Program Editor
You can recover the contents of the Program Editor if the
autosave feature has already been selected in Preferences:
Tools>Options>Preferences>Edit>Autosave
The contents are saved to pgm.asv in the current active folder so that
you can recover your work.
In the Enhanced Editor
You can recover the contents of the Enhanced Editor if the
autosave feature has already been selected in Preferences:
Tools>Options>Preferences>Edit>Autosave
The Enhanced Editor autosave files are saved in the operating
environment temporary folder that has the filename Autosave of
filename.$AS, where filename is the name of the file. For example, the
path to the autosave file for MYPROGRAM.SAS in folder c:\TEMP would be
the following:
c:\TEMP\Autosave of myprogram.$AS
Note: SAS deletes autosave files when a file is saved, when the
Enhanced Editor window closes, or when a SAS session ends normally.
If you have renamed a file and SAS ends abnormally, you can find the
autosaved file under the original filename.
Additional Information about autosave used with the Program
Editor and the Enhanced Editor can be found in SAS note #004816 .
