Hi All,

I need to run (.vbs) file in sas eg. But i couldn't run it through sas eg. I can only run the same .vbs file out of sas.

Any help will be most appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

SAS Enterprise Guide uses a so-called workspace server for running all the code it creates. This workspace server is configured per default to not allow external commands. It also might reside remotely and on a non-Windows operating system.

Please post the log of your failed step.

Thanks for the above Info.

I'm not getting any error in the log. when i just run the .vbs file using x cmd its not executing only for .vbs file inside SAS EG session. I can run the .vbs file outside the SAS EG session using cmd prompt.

Instead of using the x statement, do this to call your external command:

filename oscmd pipe "your_vbs_call 2>&1";

data _null_;
infile oscmd;
input;
put _infile_;
run;

This will write all answers from the operating system to the SAS log.
