Reset SAS session with code

klanie73 — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 11:41:20 GMT

Is it possible to code a ”reset SAS session” into a script in SAS Studio, instead of using the F9 button?

I need it for some automation, where I would like SAS to reset between scripts.

The ENDSAS statement may get you close to what you would like to do. However, note, it will immediately terminate the SAS session that SAS Studio is using without SAS Studio having any forewarning (ex. you won't get back a log or results for code in the same program before the endsas statement).

I don't know what the reset in SAS Studio does, but certainly all of these are possible via code:

delete all temporary SAS data sets
reset options back to default
erase/eliminate graphics
restart the numbering on graphics

and probably other things as well
