SAS 9.3 includes a new module that validates whether the SAS SVC is installed at the correct level, and whether the SVC-related option settings are correct.

This module is named TKSVCTST with an alias entry of SVCTEST. The required DD names are as follows:

• STEPLIB- the SAS 9.3 installation load library.
• TKMVSENV- location where TKOPT_SVCNO and TKOPT_SVCR15 are set, which tells SAS how the SVC is installed.
• TKMVSJNL- location where the output results from the call to the SVC are written.

See examples on the Full Code tab.

Operating System and Release Information

• Set TKOPT_SVCNO and TKOPT_SVCR15 according to how the SAS SVC is installed at your site. If you installed the SVC as a user SVC (not SVC 109), then do not specify the TKOPT_SVCR15 option
• STEPLIB must refer to the library where TKSVCTST or SVCTEST module resides.

If you installed the SAS SVC as an ESR (Extended SVC Routing SVC):  

//TKSVCTST JOB       
//SVCTST  EXEC PGM=SVCTEST,REGION=129M                           
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.installation.V930.load.library          
//TKMVSENV DD *                                                  
set TKOPT_SVCNO=109                                              
set TKOPT_SVCR15=4
