Hi!
In the SAS documentation (received with your SAS install media), you should find references to the
"SAS Companion for the Microsoft Windows Environment".
Within that document, there is a section that references "Files Used by the SAS System." The following is a quote from the documentation.
However, before you switch folks to a new operating system, you need to read the full documentation and not just operate from this short list:
[pre]
"The SAS System uses many files while it is running;
however, some of these files are especially important from a user's perspective. These files include the
--SAS configuration files (SASVx.CFG by default where x is the release number)
--SAS autoexec file (AUTOEXEC.SAS by default)
--user profile catalog (Profile.sas7bcat)
--WORK data library ("SAS Temporary Files" folder in your system's designated TEMP area)
--SAS Registry Files"
[/pre]
In addition, if you are also dealing with an install of the Business Intelligence platform SAS Add-in for Microsoft Office,
you will need to refer to the documentation/administrator's guide for that suite of products.
