Open the FCmp Function Editor

If you are working in the Windows operating environment and SAS is installed locally on your computer, the sign-on dialog box is bypassed because Windows supports single sign-on functionality.

If you are not working in the Windows operating environment, or if you do not have SAS installed locally, then you will be prompted for your authorization credentials, which are your user ID and password.

To open the FCmp Function Editor, select SolutionsAnalysisFCmp Function Editor from the menu in your SAS session. The following dialog box appears:

After you enter your user ID and password and click Log On, SAS establishes a connection to a port. A window that displays your libraries appears:

In the window above, you can see that the left pane lists the functions that are in the SASHELP and SASUSER libraries. The WORK library is empty. You cannot access the WORK library directly from a spawning SAS session. The FCmp Function Editor remaps the WORK library from the spawning SAS session to the location of OLD_WORK so that you can access the contents of WORK from OLD_WORK.
