How do I get information about installing SAS?

When I run a SAS program, I want to know where SAS is located and pass that information to the macro. Is there any system option or global variable available?

SASROOT (SAS installation location) must be an environment variable.



%Put sasroot = %sysget(sasroot);

Note that% sysget () is sometimes case sensitive - see my EG 4.3 (linux) log:

15         %put %sysget(SASROOT);
/opt/sas/env2/lev1/software/SASFoundation/9.2
16         %put %sysget(sasroot);
WARNING: The argument to macro function %SYSGET is not defined as a system variable.

Strange, its not register in sas 9.3 (windows) database.

You can see more dialing options using:



%put %sysfunc(getoption(set));

Or even the following:

filename set pipe 'set';
data _null_;
  infile set;
  input;
  put _infile_;
run;

(works on both Linux and windows)

SAS as a "statistical analysis system"? have you tried 'ls -ls which sas

'? if a SAS executable is installed on the system and I can name it as $ sas, maybe it has a soft link to / bin or / local / bin with 'ls -ls', you might know what this soft link is pointing to.
