In previous versions of SAS, it was possible to use relative file paths by doing the following:

 

  1. Select File > Project Properties.
  2. Select File References.
  3. Check the Use paths relative to the project for programs and importable files box

However the Project Properties tool no longer appears in SAS EG 8.2 and I can't see another way to get relative file paths to work

I know it's not the "good answer", but in 8.3 it is there. Maybe it is 8.2 issue?
