If (and maybe - only if) you work SAS on Windows the latest external file opened will be at the top of the dictionary table of external files and the following macro %thisfile _may_ achieve what you want -- it is based on example 1 in the on-line help for: Base SAS documentation/Language Reference/SAS Call Routines/SET %macro thisfile(); %local fileref xpath xengine dsid rc; /********* example %let this=%thisfile; ***********/ %let dsid=%sysfunc(open(sashelp.vextfl,i)); %syscall set(dsid); /* No leading ampersand with %SYSCALL */ %let rc=%sysfunc(fetchobs(&dsid,1)); /* testing*** %put _local_; ***********/ %let rc=%sysfunc(close(&dsid)); &xpath %mend thisfile; %put %thisfile;

Betreff: SAS Editor Nachrichtentext:

Is there a way to get the current sas program name that is open in the SAS editor? I can see the name at the top of the SAS editor dialog box but don't know where or how I can get this information into a sas variable.

TIA for your help,
