Harry,

1. I think your problem is caused by trying to use a fileref (sasautos)
within the sasautos option. This is a circular reference.
2. To find the current sasautos setting:
   %let a = %sysfunc(getoption(SASAUTOS));
or
  data _null_;
  set sashelp.voption(where=( optname='SASAUTOS'));
  put setting;
  run;

hth,
Dennis Diskin
