Unix Archive command is not working with X in Unix

Hi Team,

Given below Unix command is not working in SAS eg with X command. Rest all commands are working fine instead of "archive". Archive is not functioning whenever I am trying to do with SAS eg. However, following command is working fine when I use with the unix editor. Please suggest any solution.

find -type f -not -name '*.txt' -mtime +30 -printf '%P\n' | xargs archive

Thanks,

Abhishek

Is XCMD enabled? It's usually off by default.

Run the following and check your log.
proc options option=xcmd;
run;

I don't think archive is an internal command for any Unix shell that I know of.

Perhaps the search path for the Unix session that is running your SAS session does not include the folder where archive command lives?

What does the archive command do? Does it need to interact with a terminal?
