autoexecute sas programms when user launching SAS tools or batch

sathya66 — Tue, 17 Aug 2021 13:14:16 GMT

All,

which file do we need to include a sas programme for automatic excecution when users launching/starting SAS sessions/SAS tools?

is it appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas? or appserver_autoexec.sas? or any other file.

I want to run below code for end users and users need to use one value from below code

I tired with below file but didn't help

appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas

%include "path./data.sas";

appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas would be called if a user runs sas using Lev1/SASApp/sas.sh or higher (i.e. Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer/sasbatch.sh).
If you are running SAS directly from SASFoundation, an autoexec is not set. How is SAS being run?

SASApp.
We have some macros setup in appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas and working fine for end users/for batch so included this %INCLUDE code but didn't help

If you are running SAS from the scripts in SASApp it should be calling appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas, and from your description it sounds like it is, which makes me think the issue is with your include statement. If you copy that statement and put it directly in the code does it execute successfully?

Yes, it works in the code.
I tested it before I copy in appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas

You can add the ECHOAUTO option to see what code is being executed during autoexec.
