Hi, Chris,

I'm using the "legit" Copy Files task in EG 7.15, 64 bit. I'm moving over .sas code that is then brought into my programs via a %INCLUDE command. In other words, I use EG as my editor on my local Windows machine and then use the Copy Files task to make sure that I've always got the latest version of the SAS code on our UNIX server before beginning execution. It's great... except when it isn't. Copy Files frequently doesn't actually update the remote SAS code. No errors or warnings are issued; the log file seems to indicate that all is well, but when one browses the code on the remote server, it's still and older version.

Naturally, I just know you'll suggest something like OPTION=START_WORKING_DOGGONE_IT and all my problems will be solved. :) Well, perhaps it won't be *that* easy, but I'm hoping that there may be some telltale in the log that I just don't know about or perhaps some kind of sharing option that I'm not aware of that is preventing the files from being updated.

Suggestions most welcome,

Jim
