Hello everyone,
I run sas on unix ,
I know the code below can get full path plus program name of the current program.
%let pathname = %sysfunc(getoption(sysin));
%put pathname;
But I only want path without program name. how to program?
Thanks!
There may be other ways, but you could certainly get it from &PATHNAME:
%let n_remove = %length(%scan(&pathname, -1, /));
%let pathname = %substr(&pathname, 1, %length(&pathname) - &n_remove - 1);
The extra -1 at the end removes the final / before the file name.

%let path = %sysfunc(getoption(sysin));
%let n_remove3 = %eval(%length(%scan(&path, -1, /)) + %length(%scan(&path, -2, /)) + 1);
%let pathname3 = %substr(%sysfunc(getoption(sysin)), 1, %length(&path) - &n_remove3 - 1);
%put pathname3 is : |&pathname3.|;
Thank you very much!
