Hi All,

 

   If I have a SQL database, and I need to run the below code to have the library "test" show up under SAS Enterprise Guide libraries.

   Libname test odbc user=*** password=*** datasrc=***;

 

   Is there a way I can do in Enterprise Guide to save running that code every time? I mean once I open the EG, the library is already under the SAS Enterprise Guide libraries, without runing the code I provided above.

  

   Thank you!

Jade

There are a couple of ways potentially.  I have several libraries setup in my SAS Autoexec file on my SAS Server. That way whenever I start Enterprise Guide (Miner too I think) or a batch job on the server, those standard libraries are always there, along with other things I use regularly, like various macro variables and system options.  Enterprise Guide itself has a similar functionality internally too, it's in the options under "SAS Programs" where you can specify custom code to run on EG startup or or other times.
