Hi Bryce,

If you are using Interactive SAS you can find the Explorer Window, doubleclick the Libraries and rightclick on the Work library. Select Properties and open the General Properties and it will show you where the temporary work folders get placed.

-or- you can locate your folder where the SAS executable file is and find the config file. In this text file the -WORK will also show you where these temp folders are.

And yes, if you crash or somehow fail to close the session cleanly, you can find the leftover temp WORK folders there.

Hope this is helpful.

Is there a temp folder where SAS stores everything you were working on before a crash? I am finding that my disk space is growing quite small although I am removing the larger files and ziping those I need to keep. My hard drive is 500 GB, and the folder with most all of my programs/data sets is only ~50 GB. Any thoughts? Thanks.
