Pipe filename executed locally and not on server

tomcmacdonald — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 18:44:36 GMT

I have a Windows machine. I use SAS EG which run from a AIX (UNIX) server. I'm trying to run the following program.

data _null_;
	infile 'ls -al' pipe;
	input stdout $80.;
	put stdout;
run;

I receive this in the log:

Stderr output:
'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The "ls" does execute fine on the AIX server when I have an SSH session. This is a Windows error that's being thrown. When using the equivalent Windows command it works fine.

data _null_;
	infile 'dir' pipe;
	input stdout $80.;
	put stdout;
run;

How do I get the piped filenames to execute on the server and not locally?

that doesnt sound right .

Check the connection to ensure you are connecting to the AIX.

Also what happens when you run this

%put &sysscpl &sysscp;

You're not connected to an AIX based workspace server.

Do a

%put &syshostinfolong. &syshostname.;

to verify where your workspace server runs.
