Problem Note 57818: SAS® Drug Development 4.2 - Running several Jobs with the same SAS® code might make an instance unstable
In SAS Drug Development® 4.2 and higher, running several Jobs with the same SAS® code might make outputs unusable by other Jobs. Consider the following scenarios:
|
Job Execution Scenario
|
Same output folder?
|
Same output filenames?
