Hi all - 

Trying to gather some information here: our team is planning to move away from developing with desktop PC SAS to SAS Studio on a Linux flavored SAS Server. 

One topic that has come up is that SAS Studio (3.6 is what we have) does not run in "true" batch mode. Information I have found is that "background submit" is just a change in nomenclature starting with SAS Studio 3.6.

What I'd like to know is whether there any underlying difference in how PC SAS processes the old traditional "right click and select 'Batch submit with SAS 9.x'" vs submitting a job in background on SAS Studio?

 

One notable addition: using the SAS %sysprocessmode variable, results from PC SAS shows SAS Batch Mode, while running a background submit in SAS Studio 3.6 resolves to "SAS Workspace Server"

 

Many thanks!
