Hi everyone,   our company has recently started using SAS/CONNECT with BASE SAS 9.4 and I've hit an annoyance that my brain cant let go of!     I'm trying to write a set up program (similar to auto exec,) that sits at the top of your code in an include statement.  There's a bit of clean up at the beginning of the program (b/c we're expecting programmers to run their code top to bottom multiple times, or restart from the beginning wanting a "clean sheet" as they de-bug and develop code).  After clean up I want the script to sign on to the remote server only if they aren't already signed on.  In my head it would look something like this:   *sign on ; %if <check system macro var or option) %then %do ; %put NOTE: Already signed on to %sysfunc(getoption(CONNECTREMOTE))" ; %end; %else %do ; %LET session1 = appserv.company.com 1111; OPTIONS comamid = TCP connectremote = session1 ; signon session1 sascmd="!sascmd -nosyntaxcheck -noterminal " ; %end ;   There is no error or warning returned if you signon again to the same server - just a NOTE: to say "you're already signed on here".  But I think its good programming practice to have this as a conditional bit of logic in case we have to change the way we sign on at any time down the line.   Maybe I could do it the other way around and force sign-off as part of the clean-up?  But that would throw an error!  Should I just abandon this or is there something to latch onto that I can use in a conditional statement? ...
