Need Assistance with Listing and Downloading SAS Files from a Folder

Andrea-Smith — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 11:37:25 GMT

I'm currently working on a task that involves listing all the files in a specific folder and then downloading the entire directory of SAS files using SAS Studio or SAS on Demand. This is a bit of a challenge for me, and I could really use some expert guidance.Here's an example of what I've attempted so far to list the files:

/* Code to list files */

/* Insert SAS code tool */

There's a Download option available in the UI.

But I don't think you can access that via code.

To be able to "download" files you need access to a file share from your SAS Server (assuming you are not using a single user local PC SAS Studio).

Thank you for the information. It seems that direct code access to the download feature might not be available, and it relies on having access to a file share from the SAS Server.
