my SAS 9.4 (v.15.1) does not create new temporary data files in "Work", so I cannot import e.g. Excel files and generate sas files to use in further analyses.

When I open the program, at pop-up window tells me that the SAS output by default is sent to the HTML destination and is viewed with a browser.

 

How do I change this, so that files show up in "Works" and I can use the generated files in analyses?

Thank you for the help suggestion.

I have found out, that I had opened the wrong version of the program "SAS 9.4 English with DCBS" instead of "SAS 9.4 English".

Apparently this created the problem. 

Sorry for using your time, but thank you for using it to help me!

WORK is a library where SAS stuff, mostly datasets, is stored. By default, the import code created by Enterprise Guide stores the resulting datasets there.

Open the server list, expand your server, expand Libraries, then WORK. If in doubt, right-click WORK and Refresh.

Your program also seems to have some part that creates "print" output, which is directed to the ODS (Output Delivery System) HTML destination in your case.

 

Show us the complete log of your program; copy/paste it into a window opened with this button:

Even though your problem was not resolved by the usual pattern of informed advice, it was solved by your own investigation.  So mark your own response as a solution.  It's not bragging, and it will help others browsing in the community.

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
