How are these jobs scheduled?

If you are using Windows Task Scheduler, UNIX cron or LSF/Platform JS, you can build job dependencies in SAS Management Console's Scheduling plug-in.

I am not using any Schedular tools like Windows Task Scheduler, UNIX cron or LSF/Platform.

I am running the jobs using %include command

%include job1

%include job2

%include job3

All jobs put it in DO loop to run N number of times.

How can i check job status? Could you please clarify

If you are in a Windows or UNIX environment, I suggest that you take look at the functionality offered in SMC, it has what you are asking for.

if you still want to stick to using %include, you can test the &job_rc macro variable after each job.

Thank you LinusH. I would like to use %include.

How can we use &JOB_RC to get the status of job which is getting called by %include?

should we call rcset(%syslibrc) ?

If it so how does it works i am not getting understand.

Could you please clarify?

If &job_rc <> 0 you probably want something to happen, like aborting the SAS session?

The neatest way is to build a macroto do the test and the appropriate action, and call this macro after each %include.
