Details
The RSESSION function returns the session identifier
and the corresponding description for a SAS/CONNECT server session. You must
have previously defined the description by using the RSTITLE function.
This example loops through four sessions and obtains
the server session and description, which is returned by using the RSESSION
function. The program puts the descriptions in separate arrays for later use
(for example, to display a choice of server sessions to upload to).
do i=1 to 4;
word=rsession(i);
if word ^=' ' then do;
remote=substr(word,1,17);
desc=(substr(word,18,57));
if rlink(remote) then do;
if desc=' ' then desc = remote;
cnt=cnt + 1;
entrys{cnt}=remote;
comam{cnt}=desc;
end;
end;
end;
