| Doing More with SAS/ASSIST Software |
If you have programs, FRAME entries, or other SAS/AF catalog
entries that you want SAS/ASSIST software to use, you can use the Catalog search path item to specify the names of the catalogs
you want SAS/ASSIST software to search. SAS/ASSIST software searches the
specified catalogs first whenever it is called on to run a SAS/AF program,
FRAME entry, or other catalog entries. If SAS/ASSIST software does not find
the requested entry, SAS/ASSIST software then searches its default catalogs.
Use the following instructions to set up a catalog search
path.
- Follow this selection path:

- In the numbered fields, type the names
of the
catalogs that you want SAS/ASSIST software to search first for programs, FRAME
entries, and other catalog entries, before searching the default catalogs.
Use two-level catalog names in the form of libref.catalog. SAS/ASSIST
software searches the catalogs you indicate in the order you type them (from
the top down). To display a list of available catalogs, type
? in the first position of the catalog field
and press ENTER. Select the catalog you want to use.
- To enable the search path, select Use search path. This feature allows you to
turn the search
path on and off without having to retype the catalogs each time.
- Select OK.
