When I schedule sas prog via sas amangement console as sassrv user . its throwing below error. I alredy made the below changes in smc Allow XCMD

Expand Server Manager ► SASApp ► SASApp - Logical Workspace Server.
Right-click on SASApp - Workspace Server and select Properties.
Click the Options tab, and then click the Advanced Options button.
Click the Launch Properties tab, and select Allow XCMD. Click OK until you have closed all open dialog boxes.
Exit SAS Management Console.
From the Microsoft Windows desktop, click Start and then Services.
Select Stop the Metadata Server and wait a few moments.
Restart the servers as follows:

ERROR: Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session.

IIRC, the scheduler uses one of the SAS Data Step Batch Servers, so you need to change the configuration of that.

I have update the batchsas.sh file..... now is working fine.

/opt/sas/config/Lev1/SASApp/BatchServer

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

Instead of editing the sasbatch.sh file, you should add the -xcmd in the USERMODS_OPTIONS environment variable in sasbatch_usermods.sh.

sasbatch.sh may be overwritten by updates or hotfixes, the *_usermods* files will not be changed.
