Hi

 

I need to get the 'Operating System' or the machine where my SAS server is running.

I can get this information from the PROC SETINIT; RUN; command (e.g. Operating System: LIN X64). My questions:

  1. How can I save this information into a variable?
  2. Are there other ways to get the same information (e.g. a specific function)?
  3. More in general, is there a way to get the output of the PROC SETINIT; RUN; command (or the log generated by any other command) into a data set and then analyze it, for example, with a regular expression?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Bye. Lorenzo
