Subject:      WNT:  Using environment variables in LIBNAME statements
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Dear SAS-L,

If my WNT username is 'shoe' and I have a folder called shoe in the
'\\SERVER\Share' share, then I would like to make this LIBNAME statement
work:

libname u '\\SERVER\Share\%USERNAME%'; run;

Trouble is, the above doesn't work for me under WNT4.0SP6 SAS 8.1.  Does
anyone know the trick to de-reference the USERNAME environment variable so
that it will work in a LIBNAME statement?

TIA - Jack
