Everytime I run SAS, I have to run a set of Macros. Which is fine but quite inefficient if I do it everyday. Is there a way to ask SAS to run these macros and/or codes whenever SAS is started/run?
I think SASAUTOS does the trick but not sure how to use. Do I save my macros in a file? and then run the following line of code whenever SAS start?
Options Sasautos=(’C:\SAS\macros\’);
This SAS note explains AUTOCALL macro libraries pretty well: http://support.sas.com/kb/24/451.html
I can thoroughly recommend their use.
Firstly save each macro you want to use as an auto call macro into a file with the same name as the macro and a .sas suffix. Then place the following two lines into your autoexec.sas file
Options mautosource;
Options Sasautos=(’C:\SAS\macros\’ SASAUTOS);
That should do the trick for you
