Details

The patchname command resets the name of the sasroot directory in the specified executable file to the specified directory. When you install the SAS System, the installation program uses patchname to write the name of the sasroot directory to the file that needs this information: the executable file containing the sas command. If you change the sasroot directory, you must use patchname to alter this file.
