Hi Forum,

 

I need to see where a directory path is stored as a variable.

 

I have inherited an EG Project that uses a variable to define part of a directory path.

 

The path is used to save files & retrieve to attach to emails.

 

Problem is I cannot find where the variable has been set..

 

There's no %Let or Symput statement or anything stored under Tools >> Options >> SAS Programs.

 

Where else can a variable be setup in EG (7.1) for use in a Program?

 

I've contacted my support & they advised it is coded on my side (in the Project somewhere)

 

Thanks for your help.

The most likely candidate would be the autoexec file - try checking that
