you probably do -not- want to do this as sas allocates a temp folder and deletes at end of session

if you have access to system options such as date and time to put into folder names -and- can delete the folder after sas executes

then consider:

you need to do this with a command-line option

- - - !sasroot/en/sasv9.cfg - - - /* Setup the default SAS System user work folder*/ -WORK "!TEMP\SAS Temporary Files"

on command line sas MyProgram -work '<???>' or in your - - - !sasroot/sasv9.cfg - - - -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\nls\en\SASV9.CFG" -WORK "<new&improved&customized-by-linux-folder"
