Hello Everyone,
Is there any way to create a macro variable with the name of the autoexec, which is being called by a program at run time.
Thanks
proc sql;
select setting into: autoexec
from dictionary.options
where optname='AUTOEXEC';
QUIT;
%PUT &AUTOEXEC;
proc sql;
select setting into: autoexec
from dictionary.options
where optname='AUTOEXEC';
QUIT;
%PUT &AUTOEXEC;
These statements do the same as ballarw.
%let filename=%sysfunc(getoption(autoexec));
%put filename:&filename;
I use a configuration file to set the value of autoexec; which shows as:
filename:!projects_root\SAS-site\autosite.sas
projects_root is an environment variable
Depending on how you start sas the option sas.initial.folder may have a path worth knowing
%put sasinitialfolder:%sysfunc(getoption(sasinitialfolder));
