cleanwork directory

directory: names the directory containing the WORK directories. The name must match the name specified in the WORK system option. That directory is set to /usr/tmp (in the installed sasv8.cfg file).

Details

The cleanwork command deletes any directories that were assigned to the WORK data library during execution of a SAS job. cleanwork will not delete a directory if another process happens to have the same PID as the SAS job that created it.

Also, cleanwork should not be used across NFS or in a directory used for SASWORK across NFS.
