I have the first session up, I want to open a second one so I can run two programs at once, etc. How can I accomplish this.
As an aside, is it possible to hide the "variable name change" warning in 9.3 with proc import?
: Will it work as desired if you include the location of the cfg file in the properties that are applied when you call SAS?
Take a look at: https://communities.sas.com/message/111072#111072
just click on your icon again and you'll open another session
Here are the notes and warnings in the 2nd session:
NOTE: All registry changes will be lost at the end of the session.
WARNING: Unable to copy SASUSER registry to WORK registry. Because of this,
WARNING: you will not see registry customizations during this session.
NOTE: Unable to open SASUSER.PROFILE. WORK.PROFILE will be opened instead.
NOTE: All profile changes will be lost at the end of the session.
NOTE: This SAS session is using a registry in WORK. All changes will be lost at the end of this
NOTE: session.
Why do you want to do this?

Ron: I often have multiple sessions running, especially when I have to process a lot of data, and can cut a 20 hour job down to 1 or 2 hours real time.
I like to access my SAS profile and defaults for each job thus, in the icons properties I include the cfg file location along with a -rsasuser
That will provide the defaults, eliminate the warning, and only leave the notes and fact that profile changes won't be saved.
So far, I've got it working by adding -rsasuser to the sasv9.cfg. Not sure how to add the cfg location to the icon properties.
