Hi Karman, Thanks. I have variable for <filename> and <target folder>. They have quotes and it was working without "2>nul" added in the end of the statment. I have tested in many different cmd statement that having "2>nul" in SCL System function does not work. The same issue happens in SAS/Base System function also. For me "2>nul" works only in pipe statement with dir cmd command. Please let me know if any suggestion. ... View more

Thanks for your reply. I have not done any other change than adding "2>nul" to the end of of the xcopy statement. The code I had was working rc=system('xcopy <filename> <target folder> '); by copying files and rc=0. When I changed it as rc=system('xcopy <filename> <target folder> 2>nul '); it was not working and rc=4. ... View more

@Jaap Karman Thanks for your reply. The mentioned thread is created by me. I want to copy a table from work library of remote server to local PC SAS library for processing with it. But constrain is I won't be knowing the name of the server which user has remote signed on. So I could not create library reference to the remote server. As the syntax of such libname statement requires servername as below.   libname rwork server=&servname slibref=work; I could not use proc download as its very slow and also pops up a downloading dialog window while running it. So it would be better if I get the server name somehow for using in the libname statement to create library reference. Hope I have clearly explained. Thanks! -Sudharsanan ... View more

@KurtBremser Thanks for your reply. I think "ps -ef|grep grlink" is a unix command. I think the code provided are for Unix server, may be used by remote submitting to a Unix server for PC SAS. To be clear on my question, from my Windows SAS Base, I need to find whether any server (mostly Unix server) is signed on already or not. I need to do the verification before remote submitting any statements to the signed on server. ... View more
