Doesn't DI Studio use the Data Step Batch Server for running its jobs? So you might have to look in another place to change the configuration (the sasbatch.sh file)

Well, yes, the deployed jobs from DI Studio is usually executed from the Data Step Batch Server.

But the interactive DI Studio sessions uses the standard Workspace Server.

If you think that you followed the steps in note, and still have the problem, contact tech support that should be able to walk you through the steps in detail.

You have to enable sasbatch to run xcmd

Check the sasbatch.sh file you should have a line like the following:

"$SAS_COMMAND" -noxcmd -lrecl 32767 "$@" "${USERMODS_OPTIONS[@]}"

Change the "-noxcmd" option for "-xcmd" and it should work

Sorry about my english
