Generated temporary data files in SAS 9.4 does not show up in "Works"

karinshougaard — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 10:44:58 GMT

my SAS 9.4 (v.15.1) does not create new temporary data files in "Work", so I cannot import e.g. Excel files and generate sas files to use in further analyses.

When I open the program, at pop-up window tells me that the SAS output by default is sent to the HTML destination and is viewed with a browser.

How do I change this, so that files show up in "Works" and I can use the generated files in analyses?

WORK is a library where SAS stuff, mostly datasets, is stored. By default, the import code created by Enterprise Guide stores the resulting datasets there.

Open the server list, expand your server, expand Libraries, then WORK. If in doubt, right-click WORK and Refresh.

Your program also seems to have some part that creates "print" output, which is directed to the ODS (Output Delivery System) HTML destination in your case.

Show us the complete log of your program; copy/paste it into a window opened with this button:

Thank you for the help suggestion.

I have found out, that I had opened the wrong version of the program "SAS 9.4 English with DCBS" instead of "SAS 9.4 English".

Apparently this created the problem.

Sorry for using your time, but thank you for using it to help me!
