Guys, sorry for late answer! I will try to do this tonight/tomorrow. Thanks for the replies! It does seem like a window is being created, but I couldnt find it anywhere on the desktop. @LinusH, thanks for that info! I have no idea though how to adapt it to a local metadata server, and i guess folks in our department or at WRDS have no idea either. Looked in help files, couldn't find the info. The only way documented is through the usual SAS/CONNECT (a guess?). I'm not sure how i can get the environment description or what do you mean by that? @TimB, I just now checked the pass submitting option and it works! Was a bit confused by all the password encoding in the help file! 15 %let wrds = wrds.wharton.upenn.edu 4016; 16 options comamid=TCP; 17 signon wrds username=XXXXXXXX password=XXXXXXXXXX; NOTE: Remote signon to WRDS commencing (SAS Release 9.03.01M0P060711).
