Question

I’d like to specify the current folder. I can find the current folder:

libname _dummy_ ".";
%let folder = %NRBQUOTE(%SYSFUNC(PATHNAME(_DUMMY_)));
%put &folder;

and change it manually by double clicking the current folder status bar, but I’d prefer to code it. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Like this:

x 'cd <full path>';

for example

x 'cd C:\Users\foo';

SAS recognizes that a change directory command was issued to the OS and changes it’s current working directory.
