Hi,
we are running SAS jobs in production via the sas command in batch mode.
sas -sysin <SCRIPT> -autoexec <AUTOEXEC_FILE> -log <LOGDIR+LOGILFE>
Does this command run the sasv9_local.cfg file automatically, so that OPTIONS like memsize=x, bufno=y etc.(which are included in the .cfg file) are set every time a job is executed?
Or do we need to specify such options in the sas command itself, e.g.
sas -sysin <SCRIPT> -autoexec <AUTOEXEC_FILE> -log <LOGDIR+LOGILFE> -memsize 512M -bufno 10
Thanks a lot,
Thomas
hi
In order to see which configuration files are used, you can run the following code:
The output looks like this:
CONFIG=( "C:\SAS93\SASFoundation\9.3\sasv9.cfg" "C:\SAS93\SASFoundation\9.3\nls\en\sasv9.cfg" )
Specifies a SAS configuration file.
This will give you the information whether your sasv9_local.cfg is used.
you can always specify a custom config file at SAS invocation like this:
sas -sysin <SCRIPT> -config <CONFIG-FILE> ...
Dear
You can use your own configuration or defines your values of the options SAS by default is use the config file of the installation
-memsize 15G -batch -noterminal
-CONFIG " ...."
You can have a look at :http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/Batch_processing_under_Windows or look at the documentation SAS it depends also of your OS.
