The following automatic macro
variables have values that are specific to Windows:
SYSCC
contains the current
SAS condition code that SAS returns to Windows when SAS exits. Upon
exit, SAS translates this condition code to a return code that has
a meaningful value for the operating environment.
Note: When ERRORCHECK=NORMAL, the
return code is 0 even if an error exists in a LIBNAME or FILENAME
statement, or in a LOCK statement in SAS/SHARE software. Also, the
SAS job or session does not end when the %INCLUDE statement fails
due to a nonexistent file. For more information, see the ERRORCHECK=
system option in SAS System Options: Reference.
SYSDEVIC
gives the name of the current graphics device. The current graphics device is determined
by the DEVICE
system option. Contact your on-site SAS support personnel to determine which graphics devices are
available at your site. For information about the DEVICE system option, see
DEVICE System Option: Windows and
SAS System Options: Reference.
SYSENV
can contain the values FORE or BACK under
Windows. If you are running EG on Windows, the value of SYSENV is BACK.
SYSJOBID
returns a number that
uniquely identifies the SAS task under Windows.
SYSMAXLONG
returns the maximum
long integer value that is allowed under Windows, which is 2,147,483,647.
SYSRC
holds the Windows status of Windows commands that are issued during your SAS session.
The variable holds a
character string that is the text form of the decimal value of the Windows command status.
For example, consider
the following statements:
options noxwait;
x 'dirf'; /* Invalid Windows command */
%put This Windows status is &sysrc; x 'dir'; /* Valid Windows command */
%put The corrected Windows status is &sysrc;
The following lines are written to the SAS log:
This Windows status is 1 The corrected Windows status is 0
The OPTIONS statement turns the XWAIT option off so that the Windows
command prompt window closes automatically. You do not have to enter
exit to
return to your SAS session. The value of “This Windows status
is” is 1, and the value for “The corrected Windows status
is” is 0. If you run this example with the XWAIT option, you
would need to enter
exit before SAS
would run the code. After you enter
exit, a value of 9009 is returned for the statement “This Windows status is”, and 0 is
the value for “The corrected Windows status is”. If you use the NOXSYNC system option,
the value of SYSRC is automatically 0.
SYSSCP
returns the operating
environment abbreviation WIN.
SYSSCPL
returns the name of
the specific Windows environment that you are using. Here are the
