sas running and free disk

Hello experts,

Please, If many sas programs are running for many users, so how can we make one program running in the first and stop the using of the others users for the free disk.
Sas is under unix

Isn't this an operating system question?

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets

This needs to be done on the operating system side. In AIX (which we use), the tool is the IBM Workload Manager.

Talk with your system administrator.

Be aware that configuring and running such tools is not trivial. It is probably easier to deal with the disk space issue by setting up quotas in the WORK location.

All our users have a quota in WORK, with the exception of the user used by the scheduler for SAS batch jobs.
