Or is this number retrieved independently?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks<BR /> Patrick Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:04:30 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Loop-transformation-and-option-CPUCOUNT/m-p/57715#M541 Patrick 2011-04-27T11:04:30Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Loop-transformation-and-option-CPUCOUNT/m-p/57716#M542 We first try to obtain the # of cpus from sas function provided by the SAS/Connect team, because we might be running on a grid, and the grid system has to tell us CPU nodes; the function is grdsvc_nnodes("SASApp") where "SASApp" was workspace server name. <BR /> <BR /> If that fails, then we use the automatic macro variable, SYSNCPU. Not sure how that relates to the option.
