I am trying to start a second SAS v9.4 session on Windows 7. I get the following warning nin the log at startup:

 

WARNING: Unable to copy SASUSER registry to WORK registry. Because of this,
WARNING: you will not see registry customizations during this session.

 

I would like to have the same customizations in all sessions. I read that adding the -RSAUSER option to the command line would cause the SASUSER registry to be read-only and alleviate this problem. I changed the shortcut from:

 

"C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe" -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg"

to

"C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe" -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\en\sasv9.cfg" -RSAUSER

 

Then I get an error at startup:

 

ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name RSAUSER.
ERROR: (SASXKRIN): KERNEL RESOURCE INITIALIZATION FAILED.
ERROR: Unable to initialize the SAS kernel.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Matt

If the command line you show is the one you actually used, which seem likely given the error text, then you misspelled RSASUSER.

Thanks! Yes that was it, I kept reading it as RSA USER instead of R SAS USER.
