The last fileref in sashelp.vextfl seems the one you want. Don't know
if this is robust enough though.


proc printto print="c:\temp\xx.txt";

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

proc sql noprint;
select xpath into : printtopath
from
sashelp.vextfl
having input(compress(fileref,'#LN'),best.)=max(input(compress
(fileref,'#LN'),best.))
;

%put &printtopath;

59   %put &printtopath;
c:\temp\xx.txt
