Hi,
I have already seen the following post on the SAS communities regarding this issue and othes as well, but none of the solutions are working for me:
This is the code which I am using:
"C:\Program Files\SAS93\x86\SASFoundation\9.3\sas.exe" –sysin "C:\Users\pullarkd\Documents\Work\SAS Models\Models 1.5\SAS_Models_Macros.sas" -nosplash -icon
And this is the error I am getting -
Would be helpful if some can tell me where I am going wrong.
I am sure that the SAS code is accurate, since it runs and when I right click the code and select "Batch Submit", it works.
Thanks,
Deepthi
And as one more follow-up to the previous two, I've seen a LOT of problems from any code associated with SAS that has been edited in MS-Word. Word tends to use "pretty" punctuation symbols, which SAS doesn't recognize. In addition to the dashes, watch out for single and double quotes.

Hi,
just a wild guess, but I can see a different "minus sign"on the sysin and the nosplash and icon parameters, which I could see many times on copy and paste from windows.
If you run this from the command line, try to type it by hand, replacing the "-" signs by your keyboard's "-" sign.
Juan and Timmy,
Thanks for your suggestions, but it wasn't the hyphen or dash. Instead it was the quotes. I ended up replacing the double quotes with single quotes.
Thanks again!
