sas 9.3 user deleted and created again Users Folders

Question

problem is like below: we have user 'Mike' in SAS metadata Mike has personal folder in metadata 'User Folders/Mike/My Folder'

Mike was deleted (accidentally). We created user Mike again; now Mike has personal folder in metadata 'User Folders/Mike(1)/My Folder'

is there a method to tell SAS Metadata that mike's personal folder should be this one: 'User Folders/Mike/My Folder' and not this one: 'User Folders/Mike(1)/My Folder'

i found METADATA_SETASSN function but have no idea how to use it

Regards

Type metabrowse in the SAS IDE. This will prompt you for a server and connection credentials.

Once connected to the server, go to "Persons"->"Mike"->"AssociatedHomeFolder" Copy the object ID.

Then use the Data Step functions for updating the value. See http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrmeta/64857/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n19f60h644gvcrn14jcrwqngislv.htm
