Must find directory where SEGuide was run from

RFLinnenbank — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:39:55 GMT

Before a project is loaded, is there a way to determine de directory where the application was started?

(e.g: C:\SeGuide.exe, but loading D:\RandomProject.EGP should result in C:\)

Thank all in advance!

Can you give us some insight what the purpose of this is?

You could always use regedit to export the registry and then read that file to get the information. It's a kluge, but it works.

If you create a program node in Enterprise Guide and submit:

%put _ALL_;

You will find a lot of information in macro variables from the log, like;

_CLIENTPROJECTPATH - where your .egp-file is located
SASWORKLOCATION - the location of your temporary work library
_CLIENTMACHINE - the name of the maschine submitting from
_SASHOSTNAME - the host that executes your code

The macro variables can be used in SAS code like @_CLIENTPROJECTPATH.
