SASUSER vs SASUSER (SAS 9.4)

Hi,

This one is driving me crazy. We have the SASUSER library path, to which we can find the configuration something like:

-SASUSER "/sas/sasdata/SASUSER/$SASUSER/"

in '/../WorkspaceServer/sasv9_usermods.cfg'.

But WHERE do we get the actual 'USER' setting '$SASUSER' above? I've exhausted the linux 'find' options on this one.

Help appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi,

Found it:
/../WorkspaceServer/WorkspaceServer_usermods.sh
export SASUSER=$(id -un)

Thank you anyways!:-)

$SASUSER seems to be an environment variable, set somewhere in a script with

(example)

export SASUSER=sasuser.v94

Since this is part of a usermods.cfg file, it is a customized setting that was done at your site, so the one who set up your SAS system will know.

UNIX shell scripting is one of my specialities, so I wouldn't let that one pass!
