When using SAS DMS, I can use the system option: AWSTITLE to name a SAS session, so I can switch between different projects (one session for one project) and don't mix them up.

 

How should I achieve this when using EG?

If you're talking about the server side SAS sessions then with EG you can only have one session at a time per server you connect to. 

You can always disconnect/reconnect to the server to spawn a new session. 

You can connect to different app servers (if available) with separate sessions and you can select on which app server to execute a program.

You can also have two EG projects open (=EG started twice) and they will create separate sessions.

In my experience you don't need to do anything. If you are working in EG and open a SAS program then the name of it appears in the EG session title like so:

In the above I just opened a SAS program called Staging _Extract.sas.

 

If you are working in an EG project, then the project name is automatically added to the EG window title as well:
