SASGSUB: changing SAS WORK data library location

[IU]

I am using SASGSUB in MS Windows batch files to submit SAS code to the SAS Grid.

The batch script code for SAS 9.2 is shown below. The customized config file, sasgsub92.cfg, is located in  C:\Users\%username%\SASGrid.

The default SAS WORK data library location assigned to a SAS session created by this submit is WORK= C:\Users\%username%\<_TD…..>

What option should be used to change the default SAS WORK data library location (C:\Users\%username%)  to another path?  

SET RunSAS="C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\sasgsub.exe" -gridconfig "C:\Users\%username%\SASGrid\sasgsub92.cfg" -metauser %username%
%RunSAS% -gridsubmitpgm "%mypath%%pgm%" -gridsasopts " -log '%mylog%.log' -print '%mylst%.lst'"

 Thanks,

IU

You can use a libname statement like
libname work "<pathname>";

But don't forget: then the work library is permanent!

-work

Yes, LinusH:

 "-work" is the option I am trying to use.

But it does not work in the sasgsub config file (sasgsub92.cfg in my example):  

-GRIDSASOPTS  "-work \\servername\...."

It works in the sasgsub.exe command line:

-gridsasopts " -work \\servername\...<other SAS options>."  

Is there any way to tell the sasgsub.exe  command to use the "-work" option from the sasgsub config file?

Thanks,

Add option at the top of your code.

options user='c:\temp\';
