Open SAS session Linux

[RaulME]

Hello

I want to open a SAS session from the server to run some code, but it is failing me.

I have seen in some manunes that it can be invoked with the command:

Example: invoke an interactive SAS session

To invoke an interactive SAS session, without specifying any SAS system options, enter

sas

but this fails me with:

$ sas
-bash: sas: command not found

I also tried another method which can be:

Invoking SAS in line-interactive mode

To start a line-interactive mode session, invoke SAS with the NODMS or NODMSEXP system option:

sas -nodms

sas -nodmsexp

but the same problem:

sas -nodms
-bash: sas: command not found

Does anyone know how you can invoke a session sas from Linux server?

You have to either provide a full path to SAS executable or add SAS Foundation directory to $PATH.

It depends on where sas is installed.
Assuming SAS is installed in opt and there is a folder called sashome., then

/opt/sashome/SASFoundation/9.4/sas -nodms
opens your SAS sessions.
