What is your WORK option set to in your sasv9.cfg?

Hi.

Below is the folder assigned for SAS work.

-WORK "S:\SAS94\SAS_TEMP\!username"

I'd say you have a situation where a SAS session is being launched in a context where the `username` environment variable doesnt exist. This results in the error.

You can tell who owns a work folder by just looking at the creator of the folder. Why not just set -WORK "S:\SAS94\SAS_TEMP"?

Thanks for the response, I will set the work directory as you have suggested.

Simon, Appreciate your help.

Followed your instruction and changed the work directory to -WORK "S:\SAS94\SAS_TEMP.

No errors were found in Event Viewer.
