Hi, Stephan,

Easy in 9: not just an ascii file. :-)

Cheers,
Chang

p.s. Sorry, I could not help it -- just got it installed!

<sasl:code version="9.0">
data _null_;
     if fileexist("C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS System\9.0\sas.exe") then
        put "WARNING: sas.exe exists!"
     ;
run;
/*
WARNING: sas.exe exists!
*/
</sasl:code>
