Please reformat your post, at the moment it's nigh unreadable.

Post log text into a {i} window, so the formatting (very important for diagnostics!) is preserved.

"Shell escape not valid" usually means you work in an environment where NOXCMD is set (default for workspace servers at SAS installation). EIther have that changed by the SAS administrator, or see if you can work around by using SAS file functions.

Are you using Lev1\SASApp\BatchServer\sasbatch.sh to run your program in batch? If you do, -noxcmd is set in there.

If you need it, have it set by the SAS admin in sasbatch_usermods.sh (same directory).
