This question can not sufficiently be answered without knowledge of your SAS architecture.
On windows from a command prompt, you can run:
start iexplore "http://sas.com"
To open IE to sas.com.
So if you're in PC SAS, it could be a simple as submitting:
x 'start iexplore "http://sas.com"' ;
That will open internet explorer to a specified URL. Clicking a link would take some sort of automation. But if you just want to get to one URL, probably easiest to just specify it in the command.
But as @Kurt_Bremser mentioned, this approach may not work in your SAS environment.
