Hello,
I would like to run two sas sessions under unix by using /bin , like this :
&&;
x /../../ 9.2/utilities/bin SAS '/../../path/pgm2.sas'
The X Statement works in Open Code and does not need a data step around it.
To catch all messages from running an external command, I recommend the filename pipe method:
filename oscmd pipe "system_command_you_want_to_run 2>&1";
data _null_;
infile oscmd;
input;
put _infile_;
run;
The 2>&1 reroutes stderr to stdout, therefore you will see all system responses in your log.
Thank you.
I will use that..
But I think , we can use /bin to run a session in batch? my 9.2/utilities/bin is it correct ?
