Capturing the current file name of the running SAS program

EyalGonen — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 12:21:25 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to "capture" the file name of the current running SAS batch program.
For example, assume SAS is run in batch and this program should create output files. Assume also the SAS code is in the following location: "c:\sas\demo1.sas". When the code runs I want to know that the path and filename - that is "c:\sas\demo1.sas".

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,
Eyal
