Usage Note 50713: The SASUSER default location has changed in the SAS® 9.4 sasv9.cfg file for Windows operating environments

DetailsAboutRate It

Beginning in SAS 9.4, a Windows SAS installation no longer uses the CSIDL_PERSONAL Windows special folder variable. Instead, it uses the FOLDERID_DOCUMENTS variable for the SASUSER default location:

-SASUSER "?FOLDERID_Documents\My SAS Files\9.4"

In SAS 9.4, "?FOLDERID_Documents\My SAS Files\9.4" can resolve to c:\users\user-ID\documents\My SAS Files\9.4or it can resolve to ​​ \OneDrive\documents\My SAS Files\9.4, depending on your current default location set on your machine.

To see the SASUSER location for your SAS installation, start SAS 9.4 (English) and submit the code: proc options option=sasuser value; run;  and then, check the SAS Log window results for the folder value. 

If needed, the SASUSER location can be changed as documented in STEP 4 in SAS Note 12457 . 

For more information about the SASUSER option, see the following documents:
