Hi Team,

I am newbie in SAS base 9.4 tool. Normally I execute SAS master code using SAS base 9.4 tool. Currently I am looking to schedule those master code using windows scheduler along with some dependencies amongst them.

Can you please advise how to automate schedule those SAS code using windows scheduler.

Thanks in advance.

The basic thing is to call SAS using a command line interface, e.g.

<path>\sas.exe -sysin <path>\sasprogram.sas -log <path to log file>

You can test it first by opening a command prompt and test the command (it may not be called sas.exe, I do not know exactly what the SAS executable is currently called.

You can read about the command line interface here
