Hello,
I am having difficulty launching a swing application (not an applet) from batch mode in a SAS data step. I am following the example found in the javaobj documentation here:
http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/datastep/dot/javaobj.html#oth
I have tested the application outside of SAS and it works as expected. I receive the following Java exception when running my data step:
java.awt.HeadlessException
A google search of this exception yields the following:
"Thrown when code that is dependent on a keyboard, display, or mouse is called in an environment that does not support a keyboard, display, or mouse."
I can only assume that the batch environment somehow disables the input devices necessary for my swing application. Is there a way to enable input devices during batch execution? Has anyone successfully launched a swing application from SAS in batch mode?
Thank you much!
