Hello, I am using WIN X64 (2022 std) 9.4 M8.
Is there a universal manner of controlling where the ODS default out would go to (from SAS doc it is supposed to be temp space) but we have seen output (non stored process) writing Excel or png type output to c:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp folder for different users. If permissions are restricted then their jobs fail. Is there an easier solution to control ODS based output and if universally? (sas options, etc.)?
In my autoexec, at the very beginning, I added these lines:
/* set "current path" to WORK */
%put %sysfunc(DLGCDIR(%sysfunc(pathname(WORK)))); /* DLGCDIR changes current directory */
filename _ ".";
filename _ list;
filename _ clear;
they set my session current path to my session's work directory (last 3 are just to verify) so, whenever I have:
ods html;
ods listing;
in my code the result is pushed to the work location.
You could add something similar to SAS server's autoexec.
