Sas error while calling sas.exe from another machine via vb script

[raj712]

Hello All,

I am new to SAS, so need your help for same.

We have SAS setup which is working fine on respective machine. Generally we explicitly log-in to that machine and run command and required output is generated.

Now, as part of automation, we want same command to be run from another machine in same domain. We also made sure that all sas folders are shared to remote machine from where we are running command, but getting below sas error for same.

What path is specified in -MSG?  Have you tried manually looking at that path from

a) the machine calling SAS and

b) from the machine SAS is running on? 

I suspect that it is "b" that matters, but perhaps "a" should be checked also.

I haven't passed anything as -MSG.

Yes, Sas is working fine on that machine

You personally may not have, but it's in your configuration.
