Hi! I've had SAS 9.4, version 15.2 on my laptop for about 4 months. In the past two weeks it has taken upwards of 35-38 seconds for SAS to initialize. It never took this long. The code runs fine, but now when I try to open SAS it has been taking quite a bit of time. I'm not sure what to do.
The obvious answer is that something on your laptop has changed to cause this. The problem is what? Anti-virus software is one of the possible culprits. Open Windows Task Manager while you are starting SAS and see what apps are using the most CPU.
I'd take a look at network resources that you have assigned, including printers. With many of us working from home it can cause quite a lag to ping a network printer.
If you can, add -NOPRNGETLIST to your SAS config file (or SAS.exe command, as a test) to see if it helps.
Thanks! I did this too and it seems that both have worked.
Hi,
Where can I to write -NOPRNGETLIST ? Can you explain please ?
Thank you
I added "-NOPRNGETLIST" as first line of "\SASFOUNDATION\9.4\NLS\EN\SASV9.CFG"
Thank !!!

Thank you! Removing the antivirus worked!
