Direct I/O traffic

[Haris]

I am running multiple I/O heavy programs in SAS batch mode.  I have 10-core CPU with HT and two storage disks.  Is there a way I can direct one job to be done on HDisk1 and the second on HDisk2?  Any direction is appreciated.

If you are IO bound then it is your SAS WORK space that will be the bottleneck. Which drive does SAS WORK go to now? This will tell you where:

proc options option = work;
run;

Typically you point to a different SAS WORK space in your SAS config file but it can be done as an option in the SAS batch command
