Pass Parameters to SAS Program while calling it from MS-DOS Command Prompt

[deleted_user]

I am able to call the SAS program successfully from MS-DOS Command Prompt with following syntax.

sas -sysin

Is there any way to pass parameters to the sas program from command prompt and use these parameters as macro variables in the sas program.

If you Read The Factual Material which you can get to through http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/docMainpage.jsp, and search on %SysParm and %SysGet you'll find the way to surface environment variables into your program.

A single parameter at invocation can be added by including the syntax -set read documentation in your command line.

Kind regards
