Running R file on sas server

[Coreyw184]

I am using SAS EG to run SAS code for large datasets using a sas server. At the end of my SAS code I would like to include a way to run an R file. Either being able to run R code or just run the entire file would work.

Is there a way to do this? I know that it is possible when you are running the SAS files locally by adding RLANG to your sasv9.cfg file but was not sure if there was a way when using a server?

1) you have to have R installed on the server,

2) you have to have RLANG option in server's config,

3) you have to have R_HOME system variable set, 

4) you have to have SAS/IML license.

In 3) you can set the the variable yourself in the SAS session by setting options:

options set=R_HOME="/path/to/your/R";

eg:
options set=R_HOME="/X/R/R-4.3.1/";

that also means you can have R installed locally in your home directory by yourself.

Just have your SAS admin configure the SAS server to have R installed and the RLANG option turned on.

Enterprise Guide is just used to submit code to SAS to run. So if your SAS session is set to allow R code to be run you can run it in the SAS code you submit from Enterprise Guide.
