Usage Note 43662: You receive "ERROR: Script file interpretation terminated due to error..." during a SAS/CONNECT® SIGNON
 |  |  |  |
A problem might result when the tcpunix.scr script file is used during a SAS/CONNECT® SIGNON to a UNIX spawner program (sastcpd) and then a SIGNOFF from this session is performed. The following error message might appear:
148 signoff ;
NOTE: Remote signoff from MYHOST commencing.
NOTE: SAS Institute Inc., SAS Campus Drive, Cary, NC USA 27513
NOTE: The SAS System used: real time 1:07.00 cpu time 0.09 seconds
NOTE: Script file 'tcpunix.scr' entered. ERROR: Script file interpretation terminated due to error.
NOTE: Remote signoff from MYHOST complete.
NOTE: Remote signoff from MYHOST commencing.
NOTE: SAS Institute Inc., SAS Campus Drive, Cary, NC USA 27513
NOTE: The SAS System used: real time 1:07.00 cpu time 0.09 seconds
NOTE: Script file 'tcpunix.scr' entered. ERROR: Script file interpretation terminated due to error.
NOTE: Remote signoff from MYHOST complete.
The error is expected in this scenario because the UNIX spawner program is not providing the prompts that the Signoff section of the tcpunix.scr script file is expecting. To work around this issue, comment out the WAITFOR and TYPE statements in the Signoff section.
