Defining a SAS DI 4.9 Global Variable

Eitan123 — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 12:39:57 GMT

Hey,

I'm trying to find a way to define a global variable in DI (Data Integration). I have several environments, and I want each environment to have a different value for this variable (its going to be a string holding the name of the server of that environment. For many uses).

Anyone knows where can I define such a variable so that I only have to do it once per environment?
My SMC (SAS Management Console) is version 9.4_M7

Kind regards,
Eitan

If you need a SAS macro variable, an autoexec SAS file is appropriate. If it is to be used in the whole environment (DI, EG, batch), add your variable definition in the ../Levn/SASApp/autoexec_usermods.sas file.

If you prefer a system variable, you can set it in either a SAS config file, or a SAS shell/cmd file. They are also available under your configurations directories.
