Error running code in UNIX after migrating to SAS Grid

Hi there,

We migrated from sas 9.2 to sas grid.

There is a script we ran in sas 9.2 UNIX as shown below, which ran fine.

sas -set parm1 "database" -set parm2 "schema" -set "parm3" "'user'" sas_code_file.sas

After migrating to SAS Grid and running same code in UNIX, i am getting following error

ERROR: The option gridsubmitpgm expects a String value.
ERROR: The command line option gridsubmitpgm requires a value but is followed by -set,
which appears to be a command line option. If -set is the correct value, wrap it in quotes to get past this error

Any suggestions?

Sounds like whatever command your current installation has mapped to "sas" is not really a fully functioning version of the actual sas command. Usually that is a symptom of a shell script that is trying to pass its command line arguments down to the actual command it is trying to run and using the wrong method such that the individual tokens get confused as one string instead.
