Following on from my post about needing to migrate Formats for EM projects to successfully migrate, I found a post in a SAS forum that helped me easily find the current format paths on the old SAS 9.1 and new SAS 9.2 servers here (Chris from SAS helping people yet again!)
Basically you just go:
PROC OPTIONS OPTION=FMTSEARCH;
And the format paths will be listed.
In addition Chris also mentioned:
“Next, EG maintains a cached list of formats that it gathers from the SAS server. To make sure that your new format has a chance to be detected, go to Tools->Options->Data: Data General, and look at the “SAS Formats/Informats Cache”. If the button is enabled, click “Clear cache”. It will be enabled only if you have already used EG to browse the list of available formats during the current EG session.”
Another EG button I didn’t know existed!
