Hi,

I need to run simultaneous SAS jobs on a unix sever and I log in as one user. These SAS jobs are identical except they use different dataset to start with. So the intermediate datasets would have the same names and all get stored in WORK. I don't know if the WORK directories are different for different jobs, I am afraid a dataset will be replaced by its counterpart created by other jobs (this is not what I want!). Pleas let me know whether or not this is true.

Thanks a lot.

Hi:
This question is not a BASE Reporting procedure or ODS question. The SAS Companion Guide for your operating system has instructions for how to submit batch jobs and for how to define the differing work areas needed by each job.

Your best bet for help with this question, however, is to consult the documentation or to contact Tech Support.
