EG Stored Processes vs Autocall Macros?

Hi Matthew,

May I know how you do it? I can't see the data in my work library either, when I run stored process.

Thanks,

Hui

Hi,

Not sure what Matthew means by changing it to a macro.

As I understand it, when you execute a stored process from EG (or elsewhere) it runs on a server, and has it's own WORK library.  It does not use the same work library as the EG session.  See for example.:

https://communities.sas.com/message/8585#8585

I suppose it's possible that in your EG session you could find the physical path to the work directory:

%put %sysfunc(pathname(work));

And then you could pass that as a parameter when you invoke the stored process. But that would feel like a kludge.  Probably better to just put whatever data you want the stored process to see in a permanent directory that the stored process can see.
