Anyone running 9.3? Need help with format library

GreggB — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:33:35 GMT

I used the following program when I used 9.2 so that these formats would load automatically. I moved the program to the following location: C:\Program Files\SAS\SharedFiles\SGI\9.3. It still doesn't work. Does anyone know where to put the program?

libname formats 'H:\SAS\formats';

proc format library=formats;
   *** SCHOOL NAMES ***;
   value $ schfmt
006='Walhalla Middle' 029='Oakway Intermediate' 030='West-Oak Middle' 012='Keowee Elementary'
013='Northside Elementary' 016='James M Brown Elementary' 017='Ravenel Elementary'
020='Tamassee Elementary' 022='Walhalla Elementary'
023='Westminster Elementary' 031='Blue Ridge Elementary'
026='Seneca Middle' 027='Fair-Oak Elementary' 028='Orchard Park Elementary'
005='Seneca High' 003='Tamassee-Salem High' 007='Walhalla High' 008='West-Oak High' 750='Code Academy';

When first started SAS will look for programs in the location defined by the option

-SASINITIALFOLDER

sounds like the default for that must have changed

I have both 9.2 and 9.3 installed. Programs are never included with default paths. and never a problem.

So I recommend that approach.
