Hi,
I'm trying to open a .sas file which is sitting on a SAS Application Server.
From EG (4.3) I go File->Open->Program, and select servers then SASApp.
In the dialog box I now see a single folder, "Files", which is pointed toward my home directory on the server, i.e. /home/users/quentin or whatever.
The file I want is not in that directory. It's in /programs.
Is there a way for me to open /programs/myprog.sas into my EG project?
The permissions to /programs look fine, everone has read access.
If you're wondering *why* I am doing this, it's because I typically have a setup where programs call sub-programs (or macros defined in sub-programs). The server is a linux box. So I thought I would define one EG project for this task. And then link all of the code modules for the task to the project. And then use the EG editor to edit any individual .sas file sitting on the server (rather than learn a *nix editor).
Thanks,
--Q.
Quentin,
Your approach is sound and I find it a great way to maintain UNIX-based SAS programs. But you need to re-set the starting file location for file navigation on your server.

Thanks much Chris.
In the comments to the blog, Angela also pointed out that I could do what I want just by creating a symbolic link from my home directory to the /programs directory. Nifty.
Who wants to learn vi, when EG is so pretty? : )
