Display Number of CPUs

[JohnH]

A while ago I came across some SAS code that would display the number of CPUs that SAS sees. I have now lost the code and I need it again. Can anyone please post the code which displays this? Thanks

What CPU environment and operating system? You mention SAS code or do you mean SAS CONFIG option? The CONFIG option is CPUID, it must be specified at SAS invocation time, and the information is presented at the start of the SASLOG.

Depending on your SAS processing environment, there may be an external call to get the desired info.

I guess that CPUCOUNT=is the proper system option here. CPUID specifies the id of the CPU (mainly used in ZOS environments). The &sysncpu automatic macro variable displays the setting of CPUCOUNT.

Thanks everyone. Together with your ideas, I created the following code which tells me how many CPUs that SAS sees on any platform.--John

proc print;
