May I request someone to explain how SAS interface with UNIX in simple terms? I would like to undertand how UNIX shell script runs the SAS jobs. How does UNIX calls SAS while running script?

Could you be a bit more specific, provide examples.  I.e. how is SAS setup, presumably on a server.  Are you talking about Unix script running an application, as thats probably out of scope for a SAS forum.  Or do you mean run unix commands from SAS?

I sugest that you browse the documentation on support.Sas.com for installation and configuration of SAS on the UNIX platform. There also lot of papers on the subject.

This seems like an interview prep ...
