How to write sas code to execute a job/flow

[Mayt]

Hi everyone

I want to call api to execute a job/flow in real-time. So think I may need to create a job definition to execute a job/flow first, then call the job definition through API. But I don't know how to write sas code in job definition to execute a job/flow.

If you guys have any recommendation, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Can you please give little more context, like are you referring to Viya jobs/flows or 9.4 metadata objects?

It's Viya jobs.

See Compute – Compute API Reference (sas.com)

De body of the api to execute a job contains a reference to the job definition. In the job definition you put the code you want to execute

Can we call a job flow within job definition?
