Is there an automatic or global variable, or anything, that will tell me if I am already connected to a remote server (that is, I already did a SIGNON and connected successfully, cleared the log, made no notes to myself, got called away from my desk, and now can't remember if I am connected or not).

Thank you.

in SAS/SCL the RSESSION() function provides information you can use, or blank if no remote connection exists

If sas/AF is not available (or no-one can provide you the catalog with the rsession code) just try
rsubmit;
proc print data=sashelp.vmacro; run ;

In my experience, it doesn't matter if you're already signed on. If you execute a job with a signon step, it will either signon and keep going or else tell you that you're signed on already and keep going.

Hi,

You can assign the status of the remote connection to a macro-variable by using the CMACVAR option within your SIGNON statement.

You'll find more details about that option by reading the following documentation:
