Batch submission: -LS ignored or reset

KevinViel — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 23:45:57 GMT

I submit the following, which I have edited to obscure the paths:

NOTE: CALL EXECUTE generated line.
1    + x '"C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe" -ls 120 -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg" -NOSPLASH -NOSTATUSWIN -SASUSER !userprofile -ls 120 -SYSIN "
2    + ~\SAS\f02.sas" -NOLOG -ALTLOG "~\LOG\f02.log" -PRINT "
3    + ~\LST\f02.lst" ' ;

The log includes:

NOTE: AUTOEXEC processing completed.

1 /****************************************************
1 ! ***********************************************
2 * Program Name :
2 ! ~\SAS\f02.sas
3 * Program Type : Tables, Main
4 * Brief Description : This program

As a test, I include the following just have this header:

46         proc options
47            option = ls ;
48         run ;

    SAS (r) Proprietary Software Release 9.4  TS1M5

 LINESIZE=64       Specifies the line size for the SAS log and 
                   for SAS procedure output for the LISTING 
                   destination.

The autoexec.sas include the LS = 256, too. I am working on Windows 10 Professional and SAS 9.4. Until the program specified by

-SYSIN executes its OPTIONS statement with LS = 256, the log is too narrow.

I would appreciate any advice or references.

Thank you,

Kevin

What's in your config file?

Why does the config file have a .sas extension?

Have you tried adding an = sign?

With apologies, the config file is the standard file, that I modified. It, indeed, has a .cfg extension. I erred editing the code to remove "sensitive" folder names when I posted. When I deleted, I completely erased the config file and presented the argument to -SYSIN.

I have discovered that several SAS System Options, like MARGINs, affect LS. I may have solved some of my issues by issuing my LS after I set margins and fonts. Simply:

options ls = 256 ;

Thank you,

Kevin

Glad you worked it out!
