SAS UE cannot click external files.

sasone — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 09:46:52 GMT

Hi,
In SAS University Edition, I want to run Pinnacle21C CLI, R files, Python files, Batch files ,DDE and VBScrists,
by using X commands, Pipe engine, call system() or %sysexec.
But SAS UE returns "ERROR: Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session.".
However the PROC HTTP works in SAS UE, the procedure cannot click .bat, .R, .py , .vbs files directly.
Are there any substitute methods in SAS UE?
Best regards, Sasone

You cannot run external commands in SAS UE. XCMD is disabled.

SAS UE isn't designed for production usage, it's for learning purposes only and cannot be used for commercial purposes. If you're affiliated with an academic or research institution you can get a free or low cost full version that will not have any of these limitations. My university charges $50/year for the full license.

I understood that I could use SAS UE only for an academic or research purpose.
I will not use XCMD or DDE technologies by using SAS UE or SAS OnDemand at all in future.

That is your choice.

EDIT: DDE isn't something that should be used for development anyways anymore.
