Change work library to D drive for SAS EG 5.1


Hi I don't have much space on my C drive so I'm looking to move my work library for SAS EG 5.1 over to a folder on my D drive. How could I do this?

Thanks!


Solution

  • Presuming you are using EG to work locally, you can change it in your sasv9.cfg file:

    enter image description here

    This is usually found in the SASFoundation/nls/en (or equivalent language) directory.

    Another option (which avoids changing the config file) is to change the value of the TEMP environment variable. Remember though that SAS is I/O heavy, and if the D drive is a remote network location you may suffer performance-wise..
