Hi all, I am using Base SAS and running codes in UNIX environment. I am aware of X command, %SYSEXEC by which we can do some unix operations inside SAS. ex: X rm "./test.txt"; (to delete file test.txt) Now I need to get in a value from runtime. Is there any command to get Value into SAS. This will help me a lot as I can get values at run time. I can write a shell script to get value and pass it to SAS but want to know if I can do it from inside code. Thanks, Karthik ... View more
