Problem Note 46525: The SAS® 9.2 ExportPackage.rexx program does not honor the JREHOME= property that is defined in the sassw.config file

DetailsAboutRate It
In SAS 9.2, if the ExportPackage.rexx program cannot resolve the path of a valid Java version, a dialog box prompts you to enter the pathname. If ExportPackage.rexx is running in batch mode, it cannot resolve the path. As a result, the process fails with the following message:
Error: The application cannot be run on this platform: mvs.

To circumvent this problem, do the following:

  1. Edit the file SASHOME/SASIntelligencePlatformLogicalTypes/9.2/ExportPackage.ini in ASCII mode. To edit the file in ASCII mode, navigate to the directory using ISPF option 3.17 and enter the line command EA next to the file ExportPackage.ini.
  2. Change the value in the environment variable from java to JREHOME. That is, change launchercmd=java to launchercmd=JREHOME.

In SAS® 9.3, JREHOME is, by default, the value for launchercmd=. Therefore, this problem does not occur in SAS 9.3.
