I can open a SAS program from the windows file explorer by right clicking and selecting open in EG

I will get this, where the program in the process flow has the program name.

I want to emulate this behavior in a VBS program. Something like Chris does here
https://github.com/cjdinger/sas-eg-automation/blob/master/vbscript/BatchProject.vbs

I can modify BatchProject.vbs example to copy a file and load it using code.text.

strSASfile = ".....\example.sas"

Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strSASFile, ForReading)
strContents = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close

But I need to associate the program path.

I want the program (however it gets there) to have the name as it does when I open with right click. So that when I submit _SASPROGRAMFILE will have the program path name.

%LET _SASPROGRAMFILE='<path-to-file>\example.sas';

I have very little experience with object oriented programing and I can't figure the syntax. I have this document

Assembly: SASEGScripting (in SASEGScripting.dll) Version: 4.2.0.0 (4.2.0.0)

but I don't know what I'm looking for.

I'm new to EG other than the most basic Open with EG and hit RUN.
