Username vairable path in sasv9_usermods.cfg

[clintontull]

I would like to setup the working paths on our new distributed environment to use paths that have large enough storage and want to adjust sasuser and work dirs as specified.

i dont want any data in /home/userid

-work /sasdata/work/$USERSID

-sasuser /sasdata/Users/$USERID

How do i make this happen.

I have tried !USERNAME and $USER and no luck.

keep getting errors.

$USER should get you the username. Be aware that those directories need to exist before SAS starts for a given user; the WORK directory for the individual session will then be created as a subdirectory of that location.
