Problem Note 58209: When used with the SPDO procedure, SPDSCMD commands incorrectly set the return code value
 |  |  |  |  |
PROC SPDO, the procedure for the SAS® Scalable Performance Data Server operator interface, enables you to use the SPDSCMD statement to submit SPDO commands against your environment. If the command is unsuccessful, the return code is incorrectly set to zero. Any unsuccessful command should return a nonzero value for SYSRC.
After the latest SPD Server hot fix has been applied, the return code behavior for PROC SPDO matches what you would see in SAS.
Please note that system commands executed in a Linux operating environment do not reliably return the status of the command being executed. Therefore, PROC SPDO cannot set the SYSRC macro variable.
