How do I submit sas program as Job using JOB Execution?

[yatinrao]

Hello 

I am trying to automate a simple data load sas program. I can run the sas program from studioV without any issues 

but trying to submit it as job using job execution web application fails with following error messages 

"ERROR: Problem issuing the FILENAME statement for _WEBOUT (SYSCC=1609202)." 

"Program error. 23-2: Invalid option name filename."

I am submitting the job using one of the suggestion on this community  https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-run-SAS-Studio-5-program-on-a-schedule... 

"filename job1 filesrvc folderpath="/xyz" filename="loadtable.sas"  

I am using SAS Viya 3.4 on redhat linux 7

FILENAME is a statement. The error message "Invalid option name filename" indicates that SAS doesn't recognize it as statement. This can for example happen if you forget to set a semicolon to terminate a previous statement.

I opened up a support track to address this issue .

The underlying issue was with nicknames. my SAS post installation script that creates nicknames for services did not run due to licensing issue. This did not manifest as ansible playbook errors.  After running proc nickname statement SAS support was able to diagnose the problem and suggest a resolution.
