Autoexec sas file


















It became optional. For the amount of money and time needed to maintain, and get it to work up to speed, you could just train your SAS programmers to be better SAS programmers. Jonathan, Thank you for your comment. EG is just a client that allows to submit your code to the server and return results to EG. Ah, I see what you mean. That makes sense and a great point.

Instead of using a project to autoexec, I create an autoexec macro that runs based on the sas server name e.

So the code would look something like this:. Leonid, This is a great knowledge share. One thing I have been perplexed about regarding autoexec in E. How would I implement such an autoexec in E. I can't seem to find anything out there that would, such a way, programmatically alter what server to run what parts of code. Just know those options, explain them.

Let the choice of what will be done by the responsible business persons. That is quite different than what I see often happening.

Preparing the autoexec file The first step is to prepare the code for your autoexec file. You will see the following prompt asking if that's what you want to do: However, if you prefer not to have this prompt pop up every time you open the project, you can change that behavior by setting an option on the top menu bar.

Additional resources You asked for it: the Autoexec process flow shares a little more insight on advantages of autoexecs in SAS Enterprise Guide. Kevin Viel on March 22, am. HTH, Kevin Reply.

Jon, From your comment it is unclear whether you are running SAS on your company "very very large brand new unix server" or "on a SAS institute server" or whether you are running commercial EG or learning eddition.

Ah, here's a better approach to what I'm looking for: Instead of using a project to autoexec, I create an autoexec macro that runs based on the sas server name e. Leonid Batkhan on July 30, pm. Jonathan Stamper on July 29, am. Have Fun! First, I simply set up a library that I use frequently. My personal Autoexec file contains dozens of libname statements.

Next, I set up a library of compiled macros. This is good practice because you do not want to compile a macro each time you use it. Lastly, I write a message to myself in the log to welcome myself back. Obviously there are many many different ways the code can look and it all depends on how you use SAS and what you are working on. Though regardless of your programming habits, I bet that you also have a few things you do right away when starting a new session.

That is why you should do yourself a favor and let the Autoexec file do the work for you. It is worth it. Using the Autoexec file is a good way of automating some of the routine tasks that you frequently perform when you open SAS. This post is merely an introduction.
