How to save common options and libnames that are used all the times

[sas_student1]

Hello,

I tried googling this question and either I was searching incorrectly or I didnt get the answer so am trying here for some luck.

Whenever I start a new SAS program there are a ceratin set of codes that I always include in my code. e.g. options formdlim='-'; run;

I like to use this so that my output results dont cut pages.

There are also certian libnames that I always use.

I figured that there must be a file within SAS that we can add these codes to, so that the next time I open SAS by default that already are included or atleast run the in background so that I dont have to type this all the time.

Suggestions on where I can find the file or suggestions on online resources I can use to help me?

Thank you!

@Tom Thanks!

I did realize I had to create an autoexec.sas file, I kept on searching for an already file to alter.

The link makes so much sense.

Thank you!
