: Maybe some of the PC experts out there can give you an example that
: fills the SYSPARM parameter automatically with the full path for the
filename.
The following works under Unix [solaris 1 and 2]:
1. write a short program that has the following:
sas $1 -sysparm $PWD/$1 -fsdevice ascii.vt100
2. create an alias that runs this program instead of directly invoking
SAS. In this case, the above program was called .sasb in the home
directory, and the alias was: alias sas '~/.sasb \!*' . Note that
this is not strictly necessary, but it does make it automatic with every
invocation of SAS.
