autocall on UNIX

Ken_Work — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:09:16 GMT

Hello,

Could someone help me figure out how to setup autocall on UNIX?

I have macros stored in 2 directories and the include file contains:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
options ls=80 mprint mlogic symbolgen;

options compress=binary;

filename macsrc '/projects/maclib/';
filename macgen '/projects/maclib/common/';
options mautosource SASAUTOS=(macsrc macgen SASAUTOS);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When execute macro, I got the error:
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.^MERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid
or it is used out of proper order.^MERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

and
WARNING: No logical assign for filename SASAUTOS.
WARNING: Source level autocall is not found or cannot be opened. Autocall has
been suspended and OPTION NOMAUTOSOURCE has been set. To use the
autocall facility again, set OPTION MAUTOSOURCE.
WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro SELECTBETWDATES not resolved.

SELECTBETWDATES is a macro

Any help and/or suggestion are much appreciated.

Thank you.

You need to share all of your executed code (specifically as revealed in the SAS-generated log), not just selective code-pieces, ideally pasted just like it comes out of the SAS log output window (or batch log file).

We will also need to know if you are running a batch or interactive program.

Thank you all.

I figured out the problem. I have to change the options statement to

options mautosource SASAUTOS=(macsrc macgen '!SASROOT/sasautos');
