It is soon Christmas and presents (aka files) are piling up! I really need that sack (aka folder path), and I need it fast. I am not allowed down chimneys yet, so no X-commands or SYSTASK commands for me! An elf told me about a SASsy trick passed down through the ages, where a SAS LIBNAME could build a folder path! Being Santa, such a SASsy trick was exactly what I needed! I am not the kind of person who rushes down every chimney I see, so I checked the regulations for sewing sacks, and luckily there were no restrictions.

Sewing the sack with 2 compartments was fast and easy. A special DLCREATEDIR option and some LIBNAMEs got me a compartment for kiddie presents and another one for grownups. So organized!

Ho, ho, ho, I hope you like this SASsy #juletip from Santa’s little elf!
