%include Macro Function

tejeshwar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:53:43 GMT

I have 4 sas codes that I want to run simultaneously and not "sequentially" through SAS.If I use %include in a session, it would run these 4 codes one after the other.

Is there a way with %include that we would be able to run all these 4 codes simultaneously?
Thanks

If you have licence for SAS/CONNECT, you can run 4 jobs simultaneously using the MP-connect facility.
See http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/connref/59593/HTML/default/a001249955.htm for details.

Thanks Olivier,

I have a fair bit of idea now, however the solution suggested online on the above link doesnt gives a step-by-step information, planning to raise a ticket online with SAS.

Thanks for replying:)
