I'm trying to get the system options correct for a interactive SAS session. I building a sort of task runner in Python using saspy as a guildline:
https://github.com/sassoftware/saspy
This is the current command I run to invoke a session:
/sas/sas94/SASFoundation/9.4/sas -nodms -nosource -nonews -pagesize MAX -errorcheck strict -errorabend
I would like to use some of the interactive features found with the -nodms flag where a prompt with the pattern
[:number:]?
appears. I want to use the appearance of this prompt to indicate when new code can be submitted to the SAS session. However I cannot use this feature in conjunction with the -stdio flag which would redirect log to stderr. Is there anyway to have the prompt and the redirection at the same time.
OK, I'm removing the -nodms flag and adding the -stdio flag. -stdio seems to provide a prompt that I can work it.
