Problem Note 67039: An RSUBMIT statement in a SAS session for SAS/CONNECT® fails and you see the error "A link must be established by executing the SIGNON command..."
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS/CONNECT, submitting a SIGNON statement to initiate a remote session might appear to be successful. However, after you submit the SIGNON statement, you might see the following error messages after you attempt to run a remote submit block of code with an RSUBMIT statement:
ERROR: Remote submit to REMHOST canceled.
Re-running the SIGNON and RSUBMIT statements a second time results in the successful completion of the code.
The problem occurs only when the SIGNON statement is submitted from within a DATA step. Here is an example:
signon remhost user='user-name' password='password' noscript;
run ;
A workaround is to remove the SIGNON statement from within the DATA step and place it into open code.
This issue affects SAS® 9.4M7 (TS1M7), SAS® Viya® 3.5, and SAS® Viya® 2020.1 installations.
