how do I run batch sas programs in Viya?

[epniv]

Can I run a command line program on a Viya server?

If so, how?

What version of Viya? Does the batch SAS program include just SAS 9 code or does it include Viya statements as well?

[epniv]

My Viya is SAS® Viya® release: V.03.04

As far as the code that I would like to submit, it is only SAS code, no Viya statements.

Could you run /opt/sas/spre/home/SASFoundation/sas -sysin <path-to-program>?

I'm so sorry I missed your post.  I'll give this a try in the next few days.

Again apologies...

I tried a very simple, self-contained program with a data step and proc freq and a print.  It worked just fine.  I'll have to do some more extensive testing.

Thanks @gwootton

Hello @epniv ,

You are at an earlier release of SAS VIYA, but still this article, published today (!), may be of interest to you.

Have a look:

SAS Viya 2020.1.1 (and later) Enabling Additional Batch Job Features

Have a nice day and weekend,

Thanks so much for pointing me to this recent article.  We will have to consider this when we do our next upgrade to Viya and get the CLI option  enabled.  It's been a real sticking point for old school coders in our group who are quite tied to blank screen editor programming and batch submission.  Hey, they get the job done and to each his own, and all that.

Have a great day!
