Logging onto the Linux machine from PC and get an Environmental variable

[SASHunter]

Hi,

I have the following code that logs me into our Linux machine and does a rsubmit.

I want to get the Environmental variable for what (MMM) stands for on our Linux machine.
But I get the following error: WARNING: The argument to macro function %SYSGET is not defined as a system variable.

Can it not resolve this over there?

Here is the code that I am using:

%let linux1=our.machine.com 1234;

Options comamid=tcp remote=linux1;

** Point to the script you wish to use to connect to the remote host;
Filename RLINK 'M:\ADC-P\\sas\linux\tcpunix.scr';
Signon linux1;

data _null_;
call symput('monyr',"&mth.&yr.");
run;
%put the value being passed is &monyr;

rsubmit;
%sysrput rsysver = Remote SAS version number is &sysver..;
%sysrput monthtest = %sysget(MMM);
endrsubmit;

* Library on Linux machine;
libname mysas "/our/dir/sas/&monyr" server=linux1;

%put &rsysver;
%put &monthtest;
Signoff;

This is the log:

If I am on the Linux machine and use %sysget inside a program, it gives me 'apr'.

Thanks for any help in understanding this.

run the usual commands to verify the environment var exists
In the remote sas session, run the code
x set ;
Or package it into a filename pipe and prove that MMM exists

[SASHunter]

This is what I had previously executed on the Linux :

/cpspb/dev/work> print $MMM
apr

and if I do the SET statement I see: MMM=apr

so why does it not resolve when I sign on to the Linux through RSUBMIT?

Thanks,
Nancy
