Stored Process Output and Work Files

[cbrotz]

I have not written many stored processes in SAS EG.  I did create one to store code that is used multiple times in many sets of code with the idea that if changes are needed, I could change it in one place for all code.  I was hoping that the output could just be sent to a work. file.  The code runs fine when I use the work. file but it appears to not be saving the data as I cannot reference the  work.  file further in the code.  If I use a  permanent SAS dataset it runs fine.  I was hoping to just create a temporary work file though.  Is it possible to just create a work file using Stored Processes?

No, because the work session disappears when the stored process is done. You can write the file to a temp or perhaps rather than a stored process use a %INCLUDE to call the program instead.

Thank you!  The Temp file worked.
