V6-SIGNON-C053 ERROR: Cannot locate TCP host 'xxx' using UNIX spawner with -NOSCRIPT

When using the TCP/IP access method to connect to a UNIX or PC spawner program, you may encounter the following error:

       ERROR:  Cannot locate TCP host 'xxx'.

    where xxx is the actual service name of the spawner program.

This problem has only been seen when the -NOSCRIPT option is specified on the UNIX spawner program and a two level name is used on the SIGNON command.

       example:  SIGNON foo.service

To circumvent the problem, assign a macro variable to the two level name

       example:  %LET MYNODE=foo.service;

Then enter the following from the SAS command line:

         SIGNON MYNODE
