SAS: Redirecting the WORK files

Here's how to send SAS WORK files to a different drive / folder.

Edit the file (your drive may differ...)

E:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\sasv9_usermods.cfg

Add these two lines (the first of the two may already be there; if so then the line after as shown here:0

/* Setup the default SAS System user work folder */
-WORK "J:\SASWORK"

Note there is no semi-colon on the -WORK line, which is unlike most SAS stuff.
