Hi all,
Sorry if I am posting this question in the wrong forum - the guys in my office have installed on my computer SAS but all the logs and error messages are in German language and not English 😞 Is there a quick way I could change this, or do I need to ask the Helpdesk for support?
Thank you 🙂
Create a new shortcut and enter these lines:
in the Shortcut target:
"C:\Program Files\SASHome\x86\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe" -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SASHome\x86\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg"
in the shortcut folder: %USERPROFILE%
rename your shortcut as SAS (english)
- Cheers -

It s the same my problem, but I m using the version of SAS University Editor with VirtualBox. So how can I do to change the output from french to english?
Please help me.
Hi,
Print the following filepath in your editor :
%put "%sysfunc(getoption(CONFIG))";
Normally, the filepath(s) could be something like (for 9.4, 9.2/9.3 might be a little different) :
"<C:>\<Program files>\<x86 OR x64>\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\de\sasv9.cfg :<other concatenated paths> etc."
then locate the symetric filepath for the english version :
"<C:>\<Program files>\<x86 OR x64>\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg"
Right click on your SAS shortcut / Send to / Create a Desktop Shortcut
Right click on this last Dekstop shortcut : Properties / Shortcut / Target :
Add/Replace the -CONFIG filepath already in place with the English one :
<sas.exe> -CONFIG "<SASROOT>\nls\en\sasv9.cfg"
Installations may vary according to your environment.
PS. Wasn't aware of the previous post. Sorry for the repeat. Looks like the answer was already posted 🙂
