Problem Note 39397: Using SYSTASK statement to submit UNIX command causes error
if SHELL= is specified
If you attempt to execute any UNIX command using the SYSTASK COMMAND
statement in SAS® 9.2,
and you have specified the SHELL= option,
the following error occurs:
ERROR: Could not create a new process.
Here is an example of syntax that causes the error:
systask command 'date' shell='ksh';
This behavior did not occur in SAS 9.1.3, and has been corrected
in SAS 9.3.
