sasCommunity Tip of the Day
|
Some security-focussed administrators at client sites even restrict access to C:\temp. However they still support and provide full create and update rights at the windows environment variable %temp% which SAS refers to as !temp. rather than c:\temp, use !temp, for example as shown at right
|
filename sparetxt '!temp\sparetxt.txt' ; |
|
On my VISTA platform, this converts to
|
C:\Users\Peter Crawford\AppData\Local\Temp |
|
When I really need to know the path that !temp refers to
|
%let tempPath = %sysget(temp) ; |
Environment variable names are not case-sensitive on windows (unlike unix). Learn about assigning SAS Libraries Using Environment Variables at the SEE ALSO link.
Feel free to comment on this tip.
