Schedule a base SAS program to Run Daily

quiphan — Sat, 07 Aug 2021 01:25:21 GMT

Dear Experts,

I have a Base SAS program (PGMA.sas) running in Windows (Current version: 9.04.01M6P110718; Operating System: WX64_WKS.) .

How can I schedule Base SAS to run PGMA to run daily at 8PM? What options are available in Base SAS?

Thanks in advance

Qui

Use the task scheduler function of Windows.

Be sure to specify the correct path in Program/Script box.

C:\Program FIles\SASHome\SASFoundation\...\sas.exe -sysin "...\pgma.sas"

-sysin is a parameter for batch execution of a specific program.

If you're running a single licensed installation then SAS doesn't offer any capabilities AFAIK.
That comes with server licenses and tools.

You can use Windows Scheduler or another scheduling tool but they require your computer to be on and running.

Thanks kawakami, I add a scheduling record. I left out -sysin as I do not know what should be in it. Qui
