What application is this?

Hello,

Could you tell me what does the SAS application do?

when I right click the application(a .link file) and look at the properties, the target is:

"C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3\sas.exe" "D:\Project\ABC.sas" -batch -nologo -awsdef 0 0 100 100 -awstitle XYAAS-sdeeddt -print "%userprofile%/aaa.lst" -log "%userprofile%/aaa.log"

Could you explain what kind of application is this?

Thanks!

This is a statement for running a SAS program called ABC.sas in batch mode. Batch mode is most commonly used with a scheduler to start the program automatically at a particular date and time on a regular basis. If you want to understand more about running SAS in batch mode under Windows this is a good place to start:
