chmod 777 access to a file

[Tal]

hello,

my SAS exports a  file temp.csv to UNIX----->> /folder1/folder2/folder3/temp.csv

and most  of the time  i forget to  give ppl permission to it  which i do it  in  unix:)

Is there a  way the access could be  granted in SAS before  exporting the  file to  UNIX?

Thanks

The surest way is to set it after the file has been written, either with the x statement, or the filename pipe method.

Before exporting it?  No.  The file has to exist in the Unix system for you to be able to grant permissions.

After exporting it, you could add within the same SAS program:

%sysexec chmod 777 /folder1/folder2/folder3/temp.csv;

sorry meant to say after  it  gets  exported and  thank you Astounding.
