Change default directory Import Wizard

Vic3 — Fri, 23 Oct 2020 21:53:05 GMT

When importing files (.xlsx) using Import Wizard, SAS always goes to a default directory: "... My SAS Files\9.4". From there I have to navigate to the directory I need, which requires quite a few clicks.

Can this default be changed to my preferred directory from the start?

Thank you.

What interface are you using to run the task? Enterprise Guide / SAS Studio / SAS Windowing Environment?

Try setting sasinitialfolder to the folder you want to start in.
