Load SAS with no configurations

[Tpham]

I have recently started working for a big company. I am the only SAS user in my department so I am using another's department SAS server license by remote desktop into their servers.

It seem that this other department has SAS by default load a configuration file at start up.

Are there any commands with a SAS shortcut I create to ignore the configuration files?

This is what I see in the log file when I load up SAS:

NOTE: Unable to open SASUSER.REGSTRY. WORK.REGSTRY will be opened instead.

NOTE: All registry changes will be lost at the end of the session.

WARNING: Unable to copy SASUSER registry to WORK registry. Because of this,

         you will not see registry customizations during this session.

NOTE: Unable to open SASUSER.PROFILE. WORK.PROFILE will be opened instead.

A bit weird that you ask the community of some specific SAS configuration at your work. Contact the departments SAS administrator instead...

If you want to avoid AUTOEXEC processing you could add -noautoexec to your SAS shortcut.
