I have a SAS program I would like to schedule, so we don't have to run it manually.
In the program we call an executable (reg.exe), like this:
X CALL "K:\reg.exe";
The executable opens a standard windows save-dialog and all we need to do is press save, which will save an xml-file. The save-dialog already opens in the correct directory.
What I would like is to somehow pass the instruction on, using code, to "press save", so the program can move on and work with the saved xml-file.
Is this possible somehow?
Thanks for your help!
Look for a commandline option for reg.exe that suppresses the dialog, and use it. Any well programmed utility has such an option (eg "rm -f" on UNIX).
