Problem Note 42176: The %RDCSPAWN macro might not respond when you run it in SAS® Risk Dimensions®
When you run the %RDCSPAWN macro in SAS® Risk Dimensions®, your program might not respond. In addition, a message like the following might appear in the SAS log:
NOTE: Background remote submit to HOST1 in progress.
This problem occurs because the REM_OPTIONS macro variable is not properly defined in the %RDCSPAWN macro for the remote process.
To correct this problem, replace your rdcspawn.sas file with the rdcspawn.sas file that is stored on the Downloads tab.
The default location for the %RDCSPAWN macro is:
- Windows:
!SASROOT\risk\sasmacro\rdcspawn.sas
- UNIX:
!SASROOT/sasautos/rdcspawn.sas
Back up your existing rdcspawn.sas file by renaming it with a filename that does
not use a
.sas file extension. For example, you can use rdcspawn.orig. Download the rdcspawn.sas file from the
Downloads tab and save it as rdcspawn.sas in the directory where the original rdcspawn.sas file was stored. Use all lowercase letters in the filename (use rdcspawn.sas, not RDCSPAWN.sas or some other variation that contains any uppercase).
