how to execute SAS base code using windows scheduler?

[AlexCarey]

Hi Team,

I am newbie in SAS base 9.4 tool. Normally I execute SAS master code using SAS base 9.4 tool. Currently I am looking to schedule those master code using windows scheduler along with some dependencies amongst them.

Can you please advise how to automate schedule those SAS code using windows scheduler.

Thanks in advance.

you can use -sysin for batch mode.

In Task scheduler,
- specify the full path of SAS.exe in Program/Script
- specify the path of the sas program in -sysin, and the log output destination in -log as arguments, you can run the program in the task scheduler.

For example
[%PROGRAMFILES%\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe] in Program/Script box
and
[-sysin "C:\Temp\test.sas" -log "C:\Temp\test.log"] in parameter box

If you want to run multiple programs, you can create a bat file with the following command and register it in the scheduler.

%PROGRAMFILES%\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe -sysin "sasprogram1.sas" -log "logfilepath1.log"
%PROGRAMFILES%\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe -sysin "sasprogram2.sas" -log "logfilepath2.log"
