Username in SAS STUDIO

[TTMunnings0608]

Good day, 

How can i get change my username in SAS studio. My instructor requires my  username to be my actual name.

Good morning, Are you using SAS Studio through SAS OnDemand for Academics? If so, user names are assigned by the system and cannot be edited by the user. Are you sure your instructor wants you to change your user name and not something else?

Hi TTMunnings0608,

I believe your username is fixed, but you could apply a SAS format to it, so it shows with your full name:

PROC FORMAT;
  VALUE $fullname
    'hollandnumerics' = 'Philip Holland'
    ;
RUN;

DATA _NULL_;
  LENGTH username $10;
  FORMAT username $fullname30.;
  username = "&sysuserid.";
  PUT username=;
RUN;

Just update the $fullname format to map your SAS Studio username to your full name, and see what happens.

What a neat trick, @hollandnumerics!

And with the format defined use

%sysfunc(putc(&sysuserid. , $fullname.))

Just about anywhere you would be expected to need the name. If the code would expect to be in quotes, such as Title/footnote statement, filename, or text value then make sure the quotes are double quotes so the macro values resolve.

Title "Exercise One Results by %sysfunc(putc(&sysuserid. , $fullname.)) ";

Or for the truly lazy: something like this

%let sname = %sysfunc(putc(&sysuserid. , $fullname.));

And use the value of &sname:

Title "Exercise Two Results by &sname.";
