The following line must be added as the first line of the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file: -path !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe Do not modify any existing -PATH options in the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file. 2. Locate the -sashelp option in the config file and change it as follows: The default -sashelp option in the sasv8.cfg file appears as: -sashelp ( '!SASROOT/sascfg' '!SASROOT/sashelp' ) This should be amended to appear as: -sashelp ('!SASROOT/hotfix/sashelp' '!SASROOT/sascfg' '!SASROOT/sashelp' ) The path !SASROOT/hotfix/sashelp must appear first. Please be extremely careful not to modify existing paths in the current -sashelp configuration option. STEP 3: Change the ownership (using the chown command) and permissions (using the chmod command) on the files in the !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory to match the ownership and permissions on the files in the !SASROOT/sasexe directory.
