Syntax Description

AUTOSIGNON

automatically signs on the client session to the server session for the subsequent execution of an RSUBMIT command or statement.

Note: In order to terminate a client/server session after an RSUBMIT has completed, you can do either of these:

specify the NOCONNECTPERSIST system option
issue an explicit SIGNOFF statement

NOAUTOSIGNON

does not automatically sign to the client session on the server session for the subsequent execution of an RSUBMIT command or statement. In order to establish a client/server connection, you must specify the SIGNON command or statement explicitly.

Details

When the AUTOSIGNON system option is specified, the RSUBMIT command or statement automatically executes a sign-on, and uses any SAS/CONNECT system options in addition to options that are specified in the RSUBMIT statement. For example, if you specify either the NOCONNECTWAIT system option or the NOCONNECTWAIT option in the RSUBMIT command or statement, asynchronous RSUBMITs will be the default for the entire connection.

Example

For an example of using the AUTOSIGNON option with MP CONNECT, see Example 5: Using MP CONNECT and the WAITFOR Statement.
