"saskiwi"
one could "rsubmit" a step one line at a time and it won't "run" until a "run;" statement is rsubmitted (but it is hard to see when that would help) .
Here it looks like "sasnewbee" wants to write to the file in the server, directly.
Unfortunately there seems no equivalent to "remote library services" for files - unless the filename engines URL or FTP might help .. Of course the server hosting the sas connect server may not support these alternatives.
Additional alternatives to consider are sas integration technologies and sas intrnet both now part of the EBI platform ...
... anyone care to offer examples of these alternatives ?
