I am assuming here that SAS is installed also on your Unix server.</P><P></P><P>SAS has a product called SAS/CONNECT for linking from one SAS session to another remote SAS session. Run PROC SETINIT in SAS to confirm if you have SAS/CONNECT licensed on both PC and Unix.</P><P></P><P>If you have, then you can SIGNON from your PC SAS session to a Unix SAS session and do what you want. Check the SAS/CONNECT documentation for more details. </P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:24:05 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Reading-files/m-p/12383#M2794 SASKiwi 2012-02-24T03:24:05Z Reading files https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Reading-files/m-p/12384#M2795 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:47:28 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Reading-files/m-p/12384#M2795 renjithr 2012-02-24T17:47:28Z
