Hi
a little birdy suggested me to post here a question about the launch of a VBS in EG.
The question is simple perhaps naive but could I execute this data inside EG
1. if the session invoked is on the same machine than EG (personal computer with an EBI platform)
2. on a remote server
options noxsync noxwait xmin ;
data _null_;
x 'd:\stef.vbs';
run;
On my personal computer with EBI, this step leaves the session running and I have to kill the process.
Does EG not support OLE launch as DDE launch and I have no possibility to run that ?
stef.vbs :
option explicit
dim word 'the Word application
dim doc 'the Word document
dim selection 'text selection
set word = createobject("word.application")
word.visible = False
word.DisplayAlerts = 0
set doc = word.documents.add
set selection = word.selection
selection.typetext "An Automated Word Report"
selection.typeparagraph
doc.saveas("d:\zztestdoc.doc")
word.Quit
set word = nothing
Any idea ?
Edit : I can successfully execute x command like that
data _null_;
x 'echo "funstuff"> d:\temp\myfunstuff.txt';
run;
data _null_;
x 'mkdir d:\temp\hello';
run;
