1. Create a SAS program in a unix path - Eg. /opt/sas/Test.sas 2. Run the sas program using batch mode by create unix Script named as Test.sh   #! /bin/sh /sas/config/Lev1/BatchServer/sasbatch.sh -log /opt/sas/TEST_#Y.#m.#d_#H.#M.#s.log -noprint -batch -noterminal -logparm "rollover=session" -sysin /opt/sas/Test.sas rc=$? exit $rc   3.Execute the script unix UNix console or use systask command in SAS editor  systask command "/opt/sas/Test.sh" shell wait;   4. Ensure the permissions are well defined the files created in Unix. Use chmod command    Cheers, Ritesh ... View more

You could begin by creating a data set with just the leap years.  Using the trick from @Rick_SAS:   data leap_years(keep=year); length date 8; do year=2000 to 2200; /* MISSING when Feb 29 not a valid date */ date=mdy(2,29,year); if not missing(date) then output; end; run; Then you could join/merge or exclude dates from your reference data set based on the years that appear in the results of this program.  See more explanation in my blog post on this: SAS knows it's a leap year; do you? ...

and if you don't like proc export data _null_ ; file 'your.csv' dsd lrecl=30000 ; set your.data ; put (_all_)(:) ; run ; Probably a good idea also to write the proc contents output data set into a matching csv Then the reciever of the data has an idea about the datatypes. ... View more

There are lots of algorithm for encoding and decoding . I pick up the most simple one .It is from JavaEE Tutorial 6 . The implementation of codeString in CoderImpl shifts the string argument forward in the alphabet by the number of letters specified in the second argument; any characters that are not letters are left unchanged. (This simple shift code is known as a Caesar cipher, for Julius Caesar, who reportedly used it to communicate with his generals.) I took offset as 4 . data have; input name $ id $; cards; Arthur 1234 Tom 1234 MikeZ 1234 Matt 1234 ; run; %let offset=4; data encode; set have; do _n_=1 to length(name); substr(name,_n_,1) = byte(mod(rank(char(name,_n_))+&offset,255)) ; end; run; data decode; set encode; do _n_=1 to length(name); substr(name,_n_,1) =byte(mod(rank(char(name,_n_))-&offset+255,255)); end; run; Ksharp ...

If you really want to automate the disk space check, you can run it through the 'X" command in SAS and then capture and parse the results to use in your branching logic. ... View more
