Ideally, I want the process to be as follow

Step 1 = Open SAS
Step 2 = Run codes
Step 3 = Save and Close SAS

You can just schedule the project. You probably need to upgrade to the regular edition; LE is obsolete.

Thanks Doc@Duke

Would you mind listing all steps involved to schedule progects to run overnight?
I've got a full version at work. Problem is that I keep getting a vbscript error message when scheduling on SAS EG.

In EG 4.3, I just select

file --> schedule project

and then fill in the blanks.

Samuel, you should work with SAS Technical Support on this. They can probably get you fixed up quickly.

Let's work as we're in sas 9.2

export your program and put it on the server,

create à .bat file to execute your sas program and shedule it on the server.

example bat file : J:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\BatchServer\sasbatch.bat -log N:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Logs\jobs\programlog_ -batch -noterminal -logparm "rollover=session" -sysin J:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\SASEnvironment\SASCode\yourprogram.sas
