Store Directory Path as variable

OscarBoots2 — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 01:19:20 GMT

Hi Forum,

I need to see where a directory path is stored as a variable.

I have inherited an EG Project that uses a variable to define part of a directory path.

The path is used to save files & retrieve to attach to emails.

Problem is I cannot find where the variable has been set..

There's no %Let or Symput statement or anything stored under Tools >> Options >> SAS Programs.

Where else can a variable be setup in EG (7.1) for use in a Program?

I've contacted my support & they advised it is coded on my side (in the Project somewhere)

Thanks for your help.

The most likely candidate would be the autoexec file - try checking that

Autoecec (server)
Automatic code in E.G.
Referenced programs
Generated from SAS program (call symput, can be dynamic)
Etc
This calls for program/project documentation...
