Ive seen a lot of posts about setting relative paths but not for the reverse   There is a setting somewhere, please tell me what it is?   I open a new project. I drop a .SAS file in. The path saved is a relative path. This means anyone else opening my project cannot see my shortcuts presumably because there is something in the shortcut that is attached to my user profile (guessing)   My boss opens a new project on the same server but under his user. He drops a program in. The path saved is the absolute path. This means I can open his project and see his shortcut.   There is an option in Project Properties, file references which says:  Use paths relative to the project for programs and importable files.    Playing around with this setting / opening / closing / saving etc.. doesn't affect the outcome.   There must be a setting but cant seem to find it. Any help?   This is really annoying as I cannot develop any EG projects for my team. ... View more

SAS 9.2 Been looking through some old code and came across this syntax:   data _null_; x=put(today(), date9. -l); put x; run;   The Put function has an odd -1 in it. As far as I can tell it does nothing. But there is nothing in the help about this. In my mind it should syntax error but it doesn't.   I want to convert to EG (SAS 9.4) and use the prompt manager and default macro variable values which result.   So what is it and is I leave it out what's the result?       ...

I use the Autoexec feature in EG, so that when others use my projects they can be given extra guidance I would like to set some of the options programmatically in this autoexec section - similar to how things happened in SAS Base. I don't want this changes to happen to every EG project user in the company - just the one that I am working on I want, for example. to set the output to be HTML and switch off SAS Report. using ODS listing close; and ODS HTML; do not work. Any ideas? ... View more

Hello SAS Community   Although programming in Base for many years, I am (perhaps surprisingly) a recent convert to Enterprise Guide. Am currently using v7.12 HF7 (7.100.2.3491) (64-bit) I like the flow diagram of a project, knowing that this reduces the need for much documentation explaining the flow of any project. I am a documentation fanatic!   I use formats extensively for memory resident lookups In my translation code. I hardly ever use them for reporting as that is not where I’m at currently.   As a habit, I always look to create an informat of the same name as the format that I have just created, with a view that if I want to go one way, I may want to reverse that translation using the same route   I don’t see anyway of specifying an informat in the format create box, nor do I see anyway of creating said informat from the menu bar. Yes I could do this in custom code, but it seems that a small option (create informat) dialog box is missing.   Any suggestions? I could be missing the obvious (hope) – done that plenty of times. ...
