https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Monthly-Auto-Run/m-p/10282#M954 What type of SAS environment (local install, remote server) and OS platform (IBM mainframe, Windows workstation/server, *nix) are you using? These are important considerations. In most environments, you can launch SAS as a background/batch type of event, likely using a "scheduling utility" program for your particular SAS OS environment. <BR /> <BR /> Suggest you review the "companion" guide for the particular OS platform where you run SAS for more details.

I was wondering whether SAS system can run those programmes automatically rather than manually in each month.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks for your response!<BR /> BNG Fri, 01 Oct 2010 12:52:34 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Monthly-Auto-Run/m-p/10281#M953 BNG 2010-10-01T12:52:34Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Monthly-Auto-Run/m-p/10282#M954 What type of SAS environment (local install, remote server) and OS platform (IBM mainframe, Windows workstation/server, *nix) are you using?
